Emily Carr String Quartet - Portraits: Death does not mean Death (4.00 PM)

Christ Church Cathedral

Concert no. 1 in the ECSQ's Fall Season: Portraits, featuring music by Schubert and Hugo Wolf.

Christ Church Cathedral Victoria

Composed in 1824, Franz Schubert’s String Quartet no. 14 in D minor is a pillar of the quartet repertoire. Schubert’s song provides both the quartet’s title and the theme of its second movement. To the maiden’s pleas of “Pass me by! Go, fierce man of bones!” comes Death’s reply: “I am a friend and come not to punish. Softly shall you sleep in my arms.” Hugo Wolf’s charming Italian Serenade provides some light relief. Other concerts in this series:Saturday, October 10: Pause (Mendelssohn and Caroline Shaw)Friday, November 6: Hundreds and Thousands (Shostakovich and Vaughan Williams)Saturday, November 28: Strangled by Growth (Brahms and Jared Miller)Saturday, December 12: Among the Firs (Beethoven and Dvorak)Christ Church Cathedral and the Emily Carr String Quartet are pleased to announce Portraits, a lineup of in-person concerts this fall at the cathedral. The Emily Carr String Quartet, now in its 15th Season, will present such musical masterpieces as Schubert&#x27;s Death and the Maiden, Shostakovich 8th Quartet, Brahms Clarinet Quintet and contemporary work by Carolina Shaw. Through social distancing, limited seating and repeat performances, Portraits will offer the community an opportunity to once again attend a concert in-person and to experience the power of live music.
