Monday, August 21

This special concert features the Premiere of a new collaborative work crafted by Dene fiddler Wesley Hardisty, composer Carmen Braden, and the Ensemble Made in Canada (Emic) Quartet. With the generous support of the Canada Council and UBC Faculty of Music, they explored and experimented together to collectively create a new work for 5-string fiddle and piano quartet based on original tunes composed by Wesley Hardisty. Emic Quartet will flank the concert with traditional works by Josef Suk and Johannes Brahms, both of which are musically influenced by folk music.
