Hailing from Nelson, BC, and well known throughout the Interior for their vibrant performances, violinists Natasha Hall and Anne Armstrong, violist Martine Denbok, cellist Jeff Faragher, and double bassist Rob Fahie bring depth and artistry to this dynamic program.

His Quintet in G major, Op. 77, with its unusual addition of double bass, adds warmth and resonance to a joyful, nature-infused soundscape. This compelling program showcases the composer’s deep lyricism and folk roots, offering audiences a glowing portrait of Romantic chamber music at its finest.
