2023 SEASON
The most sublime thing about playing in a string quartet is the repertoire we get to rehearse, investigate and perform, and one of the natural side-effects of that is the camaraderie and togetherness we feel as we walk on stage. In 2023, we say a fond farewell to our beloved first violinist, Thibaud. It is a chance to reflect on everything each individual brings to FQ and Thibaud’s impact on the group will be felt for many years to come.
In our 2023 subscription concerts, we are playing with three outstanding individuals: Elizabeth Sellars, Natsuko Yoshimoto, and Cameron Hill. All long time friends of FQ and familiar to many of you, we know many musical adventures await.
We always challenge ourselves to strive for the highest artistic ideals and to be catalysts for others to do the same through our mentoring and composer programs. In our FQ23 season brochure, you will read about our many activities away from the concert stage, such as mentoring, composer development, recording and the numerous videos on FQ Digital Free, but for us, it all comes back to the sound of four string players on stage together experiencing and sharing the power of the greatest music ever written.
