A Burnaby cellist is taking to the stage with the Borealis String Quartet this weekend.
The quartet – including Burnaby’s Sungyong Lim on cello, Patricia Shih and Yuel Yawney on violin, and Nikita Pogrebnoy on viola - is presenting Dialogues on Saturday, March 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Orpheum Annex.
Dialogues is described as “a unique program that takes audiences on a journey into the human soul through evocative sonic conversations.”
“It is fascinating to experience our world through sound and musical spirit,” Yawney said in a press release. “This concert traverses many cultures, presenting numerous distinctive sonic dialogues.”
The concert features compositions written especially for the quartet by young Vancouver composers selected from the first Canadian Music Centre 2017 Jean Coulthard String Quartet Readings last spring.
It also includes Zoltan Kodaly’s String Quartet No. 2 as well as Antonin Dvorak’s Piano Quintet No. 2 in A major, Op. 81, with pianist Marcel Bergmann joining the quartet for the occasion.
The Orpheum Annex is at 823 Seymour St. in Vancouver. Tickets are $35 regular, or $15 for students, available through www.brownpapertickets.com.
