The Miró Quartet

stands out in the world of classical music. Formed in 1995, the Miró won both the Banff and Naumberg chamber music competitions, and in 2005 became the first ensemble ever to be awarded the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant.

In unforgettable performances, the Miró achieve the chamber music ideal of sounding as if they are only one instrument, the pinnacle of communication and collaboration.

The Miró Quartet took its name from the Spanish artist Joan Miró, whose Surrealist works — drawing on the realm of memory, dreams, and imaginative fantasy — are some of the most ground-breaking and admired of the 20th century.

COSE pre-concert: Prairie Sons

Award winning cellist David Liam Roberts and pianist Godwin Friesen embody the expansive, nuanced perspective of their home landscape in their concert program. These two musicians met at the Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School of Music, and recognized a kindred spirit in each other. Both hail from the Prairies, began performing alongside other members of their families, and have been named to CBC’s list of Hot 30 Classical Musicians Under 30.

The energy and innovation of the Prairie Sons invites you to take a fresh look at a familiar landscape, and to witness the miracle in the everyday.
