Since many people have been asking us when we’ll next be playing in Toronto, our next date is Wednesday February 16 at 12 noon at the Arts and Letters Club (14 Elm St.). This concert will feature Schubert’s Death and the Maiden Quartet and Jose Evangelista’s Spanish Garland. Its admission is free and it’s open to the public!
We’ll also be in Waterloo at First United Church on Tuesday, February 22nd, also at noon (very similar programme!)

Currently we’re busy working on a number of projects: possible residencies in Banff and at Aldeburgh, a return visit to the Elora Festival and performances at the Indian River Music Festival in PEI this summer. And ensuring that all of us have extra-hardy snow tires to get to our rehearsals and/or concerts. The idea of a four-wheel-drive quartetmobile is seeming better and better. Also, perhaps a driver. One who never gets sleepy would be ideal.

“Madawaska’s music mastery thrills Music Room audience.”
“The Madawaska Quartet demonstrated exceptional chops…. A remarkable performance.”

“The group launched an unflinching tear into the fiery start, providing collective resonance and a stunning wall of furious sound… all showcasing the ensemble’s broad and sensitive range…. (It) was heavenly.”

“This is not a flashy group with wild and showy demonstration. Their movements feel genuine, relevant and passionately engaged in the music.”

“Highly compelling…. The delight… spread like wildfire to everyone in the room.”
