Monday, February 27, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. HAGEN STRING QUARTET“The long-admired ensemble, formed in Austria nearly 30 years ago, made a disarming demonstration of interpretive insight and technical precision.

There were jaw-dropping moments throughout the concert, examples of music-making on an uncommonly high plane.” (Baltimore Sun)The Hagen Quartet came into being in 1981. Through its long engagement with the inexhaustibly rich quartet repertoire,

it has developed and retained a distinctive character.Programme:

Monday, April 30, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. ANDRÉ LAPLANTE, piano“Unalloyed pleasure is a given when you hear Laplante. A fastidious artist he is, but never soberly academic…

Laplante responds with the freshness of first discovery. He is not only a great pianist, he is a great musician.” (The Globe and Mail)Canadian pianist André Laplante has firmly established himself as one of the great romantic virtuosos.
