Here’s something special to do with mom on Mother’s Day.

The Juno award-winning New Orford String Quartet will visit ӣƵfor a matinée chamber music performance at St. John the Divine Anglican Church, on Sunday.

The event is a presentation of West Vancouver's Kay Meek Centre, which is hosting the quartet on its main stage the same weekend.

The New Orford String Quartet includes B.C.’s Jonathan Crow as its first violinist. 

Crow is the concertmaster of the Toronto Symphony.

The other members —Andrew Wan (Violin), Eric Nowlin (Viola), and Brian Manker (Cello)— are musicians in Toronto, Detroit, and Montreal symphonies. 

“As leaders in the orchestral field, their goal is to bring a fresh approach to performing chamber music at the very highest level,” reads a release about their upcoming ӣƵevent.

The May 13 performance will include Hugo Wolf’s famous Italian Serenade, Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 11 “Serioso,” and the Schumann Piano Quintet with virtuoso pianist Ian Parker joining the group for the conclusion of the concert, according to the release.

The rare-for-ӣƵperformance begins at 3 p.m.
