We’re delighted to present Victoria’s rising young Wisteria String Quartet in an informal lunchtime concert at the Royal BC Museum’s Newcombe Plaza – aka the Food Truck Festival in the back courtyard!

You can sit and enjoy the music while you have your lunch – possibly obtained at one of the tempting food trucks.  Or – if you’re just passing by, take a few minutes to sample the musical fare on offer from the festival later in the month up at UVic!

The Wisteria String Quartet was formed in the fall of 2016, and is comprised of violinists Amy Toth and Jasmine Mather, violist Jaling Kersen, and cellist Claire Dresselhuis. Since its founding, the young ladies and aspiring musicians of the WSQ have continued to develop a strong musical relationship and dedication to chamber music.

We’re delighted to invite you and your friends to a free concert featuring the McKenna Family Five string quintet and Cuarteto Chroma at the Robert Bateman Centre on June 17 from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. The Centre is once again generously hosting a free concert ahead of our evening ticketed series

Both award winning ensembles travelled to Victoria for the Lafayette String Quartet’s prestigious Quartet Fest West chamber music workshop.
