Penderecki Quartet 40th Anniversary Concert

For 40 years, the Penderecki Quartet has been a cornerstone of Canada’s chamber music scene. To mark this incredible milestone, they are returning to the Jane Mallett Theatre for a special anniversary concert that highlights their commitment to both the classical canon and contemporary innovation.

The Program The evening features a powerful selection, including Krzysztof Penderecki’s 'String Quartet No. 3: Leaves of an Unwritten Diary' and Franz Schubert’s monumental 'Quintet in C major for Two Cellos.' It’s a program that showcases the technical precision and deep emotional range that have made the quartet a fixture at Wilfrid Laurier University and beyond.

Located in the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, the Jane Mallett Theatre offers an intimate setting that is perfect for this kind of acoustic performance. It’s a night of refined music in one of the city's most elegant venues.
