CONCORDIA CULTURAL EVENTS PRESENTS
LAFAYETTE STRING QUARTET
Concordia’s Cultural Events will present a performance by the Lafayette String Quartet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, in Christiansen Recital Hall, Hvidsten Hall of Music.
The award-winning Lafayette String Quartet, one of Canada’s leading ensembles, has received critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1986, when they founded the quartet, Ann Elliott-Goldschmid, Sharon Stanis, Joanna Hood and Pamela Highbaugh Aloni had already been winning prizes. Audiences applaud the group’s musical vitality, technical mastery and insightful interpretation of the classical to contemporary works. Artists-in-residence at the University of Victoria’s School of Music, the ensemble has built one of the strongest string departments in Canada. Dr. Grigor Khachatryan, assistant professor of piano at Concordia and prominent soloist, chamber musician, composer and pedagogue, joins the quartet for this performance.
Tickets for the performance are $20 for adult general admission and $10 for students under 18. For tickets, visit ConcordiaTickets.com or call the Office of Cultural Events at (218) 299-4366.
