Concert Description

Join the Myriade Quartet and Xenia Concerts for an Adaptive Concert at the Canadian Opera Company’s Free Concert series! The Myriade Quartet was recently selected to take part in the Trondheim, Wigmore Hall and Banff international competitions. As artists-in-residence at the Prince Edward County Festival, the quartet has presented lecture-recitals followed by concerts in collaboration with Charles Richard-Hamelin, Scott St-John, Angela Park and Sharon Wei of the New Orford Quartet.

This is an opportunity to see these award-winning performers together on stage presented in a family-friendly style that embraces neurodiversity and disability. A complete list of accessibility features is included below.

This is a free event and tickets are not required. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a waiting area at the box office of the Four Seasons Centre where you can wait. Doors open at 11:30 AM.
