New World

New World by the Sirius Quartet is exactly as advertised, something that invites listeners into the familiar terrain of a string quartet. And once you’re here, you’ll experience something altogether different, manifested in the genre-defying repertoire, the stylistic differences between each musician, and in their virtuosic performances. Artists, it has been said, can create visions of the future. The Sirius Quartet is an exemplar of how folks from different artistic and cultural backgrounds can come together as one: Fung Chern Hwei (violin) from Malaysia, Gregor Huebner (violin) from Germany; Ron Lawrence (viola) from the United States; and Jeremy Harman (cello) from Canada. In this production, we have a soundtrack for not only a new world, but a better one.
