Come celebrate the first day of spring with some vibrant and colourful music in a bright and sun-soaked setting!

BIGLAKE presents festival favourite Ensemble Made In Canada, who will be performing the second piano quartet by French Romantic composer Gabriel Fauré. This is a dramatic yet elegant work, with breathtakingly beautiful harmonic landscapes created with an impressionistic touch.

To complement this masterpiece is a Thousandth Orange, a stunning musical exploration of the endless shades of a colour, like the endless shades of orange in a sunset. A short fiddle-inspired work from the quartet’s Juno-award-winning album Mosaīque will set the mood for this delightful afternoon concert held at 743 Chase  Rd., Hillier
