Dark Tales: Caplet, Debussy, and Louie
The Factory Arts String Quartet will be playing with guest artist Lori Gemmell, who is a well known local performer and the Principal Harpist for the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony.
Formed in 2010, the Factory Arts String Quartet serves as the core ensemble for the music series INNERchamber, held at Factory163 in Stratford, Ontario. Comprised of individuals with extensive national and international résumés, the quartet (Andrew Chung and Julie Baumgartel -violins, Brandon Chui -viola, Ben Bolt-Martin - cello) has been praised for their high energy performances and unique approach to programming at events in Stratford, and at series and festivals throughout Ontario.
This concert features André Caplet’s Conte Fantastique (inspired by Poe’s The Masque of Red Death) and Debussy’s mysterious and powerful String Quartet, Op. 10. For further information on the Factory Arts String Quartet, see http://goo.gl/oiG6R5.
