The Alcan String Quartet played at the Lester Centre on Friday night to a small crowd of classical music lovers.
The group has played in Prince Rupert before, but their last appearance was over a decade ago. Surprisingly enough three of the four original members still remain from that performance. The group is made up of two violin players, Laura Andriani and Nathalie Camus; a viola player, Luc Beauchemin; and a cello player, David Ellis.
Out of just four instruments the group produced an amazingly full sound. They played some quartets for the audience that were a few hundred years old and some that were very new. One song was written by a Montreal composer quite recently and those who where were sitting in the Lester Centre of the Arts on Friday night were the third audience to ever hear it performed in concert.
The concert was organized by the Prince Rupert Concert society.
The next performance will be pianist, Alexander Tselyakov, who will be performing on February 19.
