SUMMARY:heartSTRINGS! Cheng & Balourdet Quartet
DESCRIPTION:For his final residency concert of the season\, our 2025/26 Musician-in-Residence cellist Bryan Cheng\, joins the prize-winning Balourdet Quartet—who wowed our Halifax audience just a couple of years ago—for a captivating evening of chamber music that bridges the sensuous sound world of French Impressionism and the emotional depth of the Viennese Romantic tradition. The program features Maurice Ravel’s luminous “String Quartet in F major\,” a piece renowned for its shimmering textures\, rhythmic vitality\, and refined harmonic palette. Equally compelling is Franz Schubert’s monumental “String Quintet in C major\,” widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in the chamber music repertoire—introspective\, expansive\, and rich with lyrical beauty. Cheng\, known for his interpretive insight and expressive range\, brings added resonance to Schubert’s poignant score\, while the Balourdet Quartet delivers performances marked by warmth\, clarity\, and a deep sense of ensemble connection. Together\, these five string players offer a richly layered musical experience that balances structure with spontaneity\, lightness with gravity\, and precision with heart. Presented with the generous support of Musician-in-Residence Presenting Partner – Lang Optometry and Eyewear. Season Sponsor: Nice Moves / Red Door Realty. \nTickets: $30-42
