Gallery concert offers Cuerdas Quartet

The Cuerdas Quartet will bring its glowing Afternoon of Chamber Music to the exhibition hall at the Wellington County Museum and Archives Sunday at 2pm.

This will be the penultimate Gallery Concert of the season. The Cuerdas Quartet members, Ruth Balyta, violin; Jay Samuel, violin; Ron Dolynchuk, viola; and Justin St. Maurice, cello are all members of the Guelph Symphony Orchestra.

Cuerdas, meaning “strings” in Spanish, leads one to expect  the group will offer a sampling of the greatest string quartets written for its complementary instruments. The program will  include String quartet, Op.12 by Felix Mendelssohn and String Quartet Op. 27 by Edvard Grieg. There will also be short pieces by Dvorak, Mussorgsky and Piazzolla.

After the concert, join the artists in the Nicholas Keith room. Tickets are at the front entrance of the museum and there is a lower price for youth under 16.
