The Canadian Guitar Quartet returns to Chamberfest with a rich and vibrant program inspired by musical traditions from around the world. Journey through the sultry Bossa Nova rhythms of Brazil, the soulful folk melodies of Chile, and the rollicking charm of traditional music closer to home. Featuring virtuosic arrangements by Ottawa’s own Louis Trépanier, this morning’s concert offers an exquisite palate of harmonies and textures. Renowned across North America and beyond, the Canadian Guitar Quartet remains a true hometown treasure for Ottawa audiences.
