Tune in on October 10 at 6pm (ET) for a special concert featuring a dialogue between music and dialogue

We're coming to you from Banff, Canada, for a unique concert of music and dialogue hosted by author Jeremy Eichler, alongside the Banff Festival Strings. The concert will present Eichler's work in Time's Echo,a book on music, war, and memory, with a performance of Strauss' Metamorphosen.

The Banff International String Quartet Festival (BISQFest) was founded in 2017, following the success of the triennial Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC).

Led by its director Barry Shiffman, BISQC 2024 will be held across three days from August 30 to September 1, 2024, at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in the Rocky Mountains of Banff, Alberta.

The immersive event will comprise live concerts, artists’ talks with Time’s Echo author Jeremy Eichler, and masterclasses with violinist James Ehnes.

Featured performers at BISQFest 2024 include Barry Shiffman, James Ehnes, Ehnes Quartet, VC Artist Isidore String Quartet, VC Artist Viano Quartet, Cheng² Duo, Israeli Chamber Project, Andy Milne, Jeremy Eichle, Adrian Fung, Robert Uchida, and David Harrington of the Kronos Quartet.
