Isn't Britain Great?

Celebrate the grandeur of British music in this program featuring two majestic works by Edward Elgar and Benjamin Britten’s String Quartet No. 1. The London-based Barbican Quartet, first prize winners of numerous International competitions, will perform with Honens Competition Gold Medal winner pianist Illia Ovcharenko and nine brilliant Canadians, all winners of the Canada Council for the Arts Musical Instrument Bank competition. This intimate musical collaboration of recent competition winners can only be heard at the Festival.
