Isabel Quartet: Mozart, Burge, and Mendelssohn

Tickets Available Here

The second Isabel Quartet concert opens with another familiar nicknamed quartet by Mozart, The Dissonance, and features two composer’s second quartets: Mendelssohn’s Opus 13 and Queen’s faculty and Juno-winning composer, John Burge’s Death of a Lady’s Man, a 2017 homage to Leonard Cohen who died in 2016.

Last April 2023, the Isabel Quartet was joined by local Kingston santur performer, Sadaf Amini, to finally premiere a work that John Burge has composed for the Isabel Quartet and Sadaf Amini back in 2019. Titled, Shiraz, the premiere of this piece had been twice cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. If interested, here is a link to this premiere performance: Shiraz by John Burge for Santur and String Quartet

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, String Quartet No. 19 in C major, The Dissonance
John Burge, String Quartet No. 2, Death of a Lady’s Man
