Tokai String Quartet at Gallery 345
February 6, 2012
Gallery 345 is pleased to present the Tokai String Quartet, on Monday, February 6th at 8pm, featuring Amanda Goodburn and Csaba Koczo on violin, Emmanuelle Beaulieu Bergeron on cello, and Yosef Tamir-Smirnoff on viola.
The Tokai will perform Mendelssohn’s last String Quartet which he wrote in memory of his beloved sister Fanny. The highly emotional piece is accompanied by Mozart’s last quartet which he wrote for the Prince of Prussia who was an avid amateur cellist. Of the second movement, Albert Einstein said: “It seems to mingle the bliss and sorrow of a farewell to life. How beautiful life has been! How sad! How brief!” And on that note we have Shostakovich’s shortest quartet which was also written in memory of a beloved. He dedicated this work to his first wife Nina. It is a compact work, lasting a mere thirteen minutes, but it covers a much broader expanse than its brevity might initially suggest.
All tickets are $20, which you can purchase at the door. Come enjoy the music at this intimate Toronto west-end venue. Gallery 345 is located at 345 Sorauren Avenue, Toronto Ontario, M6R 2G5. For more information visit www.gallery345.com.
