Lebrecht CD of the Week - Wihan Quartet: Dvořák/Janáček (Nimbus Alliance)
The Wihan Quartet - Dvořák, Suk, Janáček (Nimbus Alliance) Rating: 4/5 stars It must be something in the plum juice that produces, generation after generation, a cluster of distinctive string quartets from the country constituted as the Czech Republic. There is nothing like a Czech string quartet. It’s a generic school of ensemble playing that aligns all the right accents to a witty, virile expressiveness and an almost effortless panache. Count the present contenders on the world stage: the Panocha, the Pavel Haas, the Pražák, the Stamic, the Vlach, the Wihan, and the daddy of them all, the Talich. There are presently seven or eight Czech quartets of the highest quality out there. No other nation of ten million can match that. The Wihan Quartet—their name belongs to the cellist of the 1891 Bohemian Quartet: Josef Suk, Oskar Nedbal, Hanuš Wihan, Karel Hoffman—are as authentic as it gets. […]

Last year the Annex Quartet played for one of our outreach dates at Northern District Library and we are happy to have them play this year on our main stage as part of our Discovery Series. This professional performance series features emerging Canadian artists. The Annex Quartet was founded in 2008. The members are based here in Toronto and the quartet is named after our Annex neighbourhood. Two of the original 4 founding members still perform as part of the quartet, Yunior Lopez (viola) and Peter Cosbey (cello). The quartet explores a wide variety of music genres, including jazz and blues alongside traditional classical music. In early 2012, they embarked on their project called The Roaring Twenties, an exploration and revival of the music of the 1920s. The project developed into their debut album that was released in 2013. They currently have a second cd in production. For our concert […]

Updates continuing pretty much daily throughout the month: you might want to bookmark this page and check back to see what’s new. There’s a comprehensive list of places where these shows are happening at NY Music Daily’s sister blog Lucid Culture . Showtimes listed here are set times, not the time doors open – if a listing says something like “9ish,” that means it’ll probably start later than advertised. If you see a show listed without the start time, that’s because either the artist, their publicist or the venue in question sent incomplete info: those acts are usually listed last on a particular date. Always best to check with the venue for the latest information on set times and door charges, since that information is often posted here weeks in advance. Weekly events first followed by the daily calendar. The NYC Documentary Film Festival is coming this monthand there […]
