New Orford String Quartet with Ian Parker

Composed of four elite orchestral leaders and soloists who come together to perform chamber music at the highest level, the New Orford String Quartet brings a palpable sense of joy to each performance, described by the Toronto Star as “nothing short of electrifying.” 

Well-known to Kay Meek audiences, Ian Parker has performed in recitals across Canada, the United States and Europe and with top Canadian orchestras including the symphonies of Toronto, Quebec, Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Orchestre Métropolitain, and the Calgary Philharmonic. 

“These four string virtuosos animate every note with uncommon power and passion as well as elegance. Listen and weep.” Toronto Star
