About BIGLAKE FESTIVAL: Opening Night
We kick off the festival with the Dior Quartet, one of Canada’s finest young string quartets and recent finalists of the prestigious Banff International String Quartet Competition. They will present a rich, multi-faceted programme exploring the ethnic roots of each member of the ensemble: Israel, Korea/Canada/St. Lucia and the USA. To round off the evening, they will perform one of the most performed and recorded masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire, the Ravel String Quartet.
