The St. Lawrence String Quartet (SLSQ) is internationally recognized as one of the greatest ensembles of our time. Performing in halls the world over, from Carnegie Hall to the Barbican, the SLSQ was first presented by Music in the Morning in 1989. It went on to win both the Banff International String Quartet Competition and Young Concert Artists International Auditions in 1992. Since then, the quartet has been delighting audiences with its spontaneous, passionate, and dynamic performances, fulfilling its mission: to bring every piece of music to the audience in vivid colour, with pronounced communication and teamwork, and great respect to the composer.

In this season opening event, the SLSQ will perform Tchaikovsky’s moving Quartet No. 3 in Eb-Minor, Op 30. MITM audiences will also find some familiar faces on stage — Former Artistic Director Barry Shiffman will be filling in for SLSQ’s violinist Owen Dalby who will be on parental leave. The quartet will also be joined by current Executive Artistic Director and cellist Adrian Fung for the second piece, Luigi Boccherini’s Quintet in C Major.
