New work by Gavin Bryars/ Viano Quartet
In a new piece by Gavin Bryars, Viano String Quartet and Mahan Esfahani come together with sharp coherence. Viano String Quartet are First Prize winners of the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition, and their crispness as an ensemble continues to enjoy international praise. The combined force of Viano and critically-acclaimed harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani is bound to inspire awe.
