Description:
This was the first event of the String Theory: The Future of the Stringed Instrument concert series.
In a bewitching merger of classical viola with unorthodox bowing techniques and live electronic processing, violist Charlotte Hug performed with electroacoustic composer Chantale Laplante.
East Van Strings performed a new work composed by ensemble leader Gordon Grdina, which paid homage to the string quartets of Bartok, Berg, and Webern.
Western Front is a non-profit artist-run centre in Vancouver.
