At the ANNEX
Vancouver New Music, Vancouver Improvised Arts Society and NOW Society partner to present the first West Coast String Summit, a new annual celebration of creative music and the power of strings. The West Coast String Summit brings together quartets, ensembles, duos and solo string players for collaborative, eclectic explorations of string music: from contemporary string quartets to improvisation to string and electronic duos.
Quatuor d’occasion (Montreal)
This music, for bowed string instruments, was composed by Malcolm Goldstein in 2018-19. The concert's program will include the following structured improvisation compositions. They are intended as a process of discovery to be enacted within the structures of the particular performance activities which are specified for each piece.
The Quatuor d'occasion was formed in 2011 on the initiative of Malcolm Goldstein. Since then they have performed in most of Montreal’s experimental and improvised music venues. Meeting regularly for several years, the quartet's musicians have developed a common discourse and created their own group sound.
