The Bassinova Quartet will perform quartets by Beethoven, Shostakovich and a newly composed work by Victoria composer Nathan Friedman at St. Mary’s Anglican Church, 1701 Elgin Rd. as part of the Summer Serenade Series.
The concert will premier Friedman’s mais elle a suivi au cimetière, composed for baritone saxophonist Erik Abbink and the quartet.
