from Christ Church Cathedral:

Christ Church Cathedral and the Emily Carr String Quartet are pleased to announce Portraits, a lineup of in-person concerts this fall at the cathedral. The Emily Carr String Quartet, now in its 15th Season, will present such musical masterpieces as Schubert's Death and the Maiden, Shostakovich 8th Quartet, Brahms Clarinet Quintet and contemporary works by Caroline Shaw and Jared Miller. Through social distancing, limited seating and repeat performances, Portraits will offer the community an opportunity to once again attend a concert in-person and to experience the power of live music.

Just as with the Summer Recital Series, there will be two showings with limited seatings at 4.00 pm and 7.30pm for each program. The 7.30 pm concerts will also stream only on our Facebook page and the Cathedral website.

ECSQ commission Strangled by Growth by New York-based composer Jared Miller takes its inspiration by Emily Carr’s painting of the name. Unyielding vine growth cloaks all by the hand and visage of a masked figure. The work stands proud beside the pillar of Johannes Brahms’s Clarinet Quintet in B minor. Guest performer Liam Hockley joins the ECSQ for this coming together of things old and things new.
