Poiesis Quartet

First Prize winner of the Banff International String Quartet Competition

This will be the winning quartet’s debut North American concert tour.

A message from our Artistic Director, Valerie Bernstein: “The program for this upcoming concert is contemporary – the earliest work being from 1941. I accepted this program because the only way to open the door to audiences unfamiliar with music of today, is through extraordinary performances.This is our chance.The artists will speak to you about each piece and then I suspect they will ‘knock your socks off.'”

The Program:

Sky Macklay: Many, Many Cadences
Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate: Pisachi (Reveal) for String Quartet
Kevin Lau: String Quartet No. 7
Leilehua Lanzillotti: ahupua’a
Prokofiev: Quartet No. 2 in F major, Op. 92
