Cellist Jeff Faragher brings his acclaimed ensemble LaCafamore String Quartet to Cranbrook and Kimberley this weekend for two evenings of fine music for strings.

LaCafamore will perform on Friday, September 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church in Cranbrook, with a second performance of the same program on Saturday, October 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Kimberley United Church.

The La Cafamore String Quartet is in its fourth season as a performing group and is enjoying high praise from audiences across the West Kootenay. The Quartet members are violinists Carolyn Cameron of Rossland, and Angela Snyder Front Royal, Virginia, violist Alexis Moore of Crescent Valley, and cellist Jeff Faragher of Nelson.

Each member of the group is a highly trained and experienced performer, and since coming together they have grown to develop a sound that is both rich and exciting. The Nelson-based group is branching out this year and bringing their magnificent program to the East Kootenay in order to support and promote musical exchange between the communities of the Kootenays.

The program will include Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 18 No. 6, Steve Reich’s ‘Different Trains,’ Debussy’s String Quartet in G Minor and Puccini’s ‘Crisantemi.’ The group will also speak to the audience about these works to encourage a more interactive experience.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students (18 and under) and $50 for families. Tickets are available in advance at Lotus Books in Cranbrook, at Sprout Grocery in Kimberley, and at the door. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to experience this musically rich tapestry of sound!
