COMING EVENTS:
TROUT & SALMON QUINTETS - SATURDAY March 6, 2021
The Vancouver Island Symphony will be live streaming a concert featuring the Trout Quintet and the Salmon Quintet on March 6th at 7:30pm
Click here to see a promo video about the concert by Calvin Dyck.
Filmed on location in the Port Theatre, Nanaimo, this 1 hour event will be available to those who purchase a ticket. The famous "Trout Quintet" by Franz Schubert was inspired by a song he wrote called "Die Forelle" or The Trout. It was so popular, that his friends encouraged him to write a chamber music work - and the quintet is the result. It is written for Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass and Piano.
The Salmon Quintet is by Chinese Canadian composer Chan Ka Nin. This companion piece to the Trout features the same instrumentation with some amendments including a paper clip that is attached to one string in the piano, and asks the musicians to sing while playing final notes of the piece.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, March 6th.
