BURLINGTON, ON
The Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra has once again partnered with the Art Gallery of Burlington to bring a professional orchestra into an inspirational and beautiful environment for a 60 minute chamber concert.
The Gallery Series brings the HPO String Quartet into the room where the current ceramic exhibition Still Life – Landscape, from the Permanent Collection is being displayed.
The HPO String Quartet will perform glistening and harmonious works written for violins, viola and cello.
Launched in the winter of 2015, the Gallery Series brings a regional local art galleries and professional orchestra together to create intimate, 60-minute chamber concerts within the setting of the current ceramic exhibition Still Life – Landscape, from the Permanent Collection.
Following the performance, Art Gallery of Burlington Chief Curator Denis Longchamps provides an introduction to the exhibition before inviting guests to join HPO musicians and Gallery staff for a reception.
“I’m thrilled to perform with my colleagues at the Art Gallery of Burlington,” says HPO violinist Cecilia Chang. “Having the opportunity to play great string quartet music in an intimate and beautiful setting is an exciting change of atmosphere for those of us who regularly perform in large concert halls. Having great art around us as we perform is an added bonus!”
The performance is hosted by HPO composer-in-residence Abigail Richardson-Schulte who provides context for each musical selection on the program.
