Both have been exploring contemporary music for decades and have toured worldwide. The quartets have also, individually, been responsible for commissioning and premiering numerous new pieces of music.
There will also be premieres tonight, featuring music by Swedish composer Martina Tomner and by Gordon Williamson, a Canadian composer based in Germany. Tomner was recently acclaimed for her chamber opera Avskärmad (Shielded), in which she utilized AI technology.
Spanish composer José Evangelista was active in Montreal until his death in 2023, and his music often involves melodies layered on top of each other or echoing themselves. Swedish composer Jenny Hettne often collaborates closely with the musicians. Her piece Swirls and Shades was written for both saxophone quartets performing tonight, and premiered in Montreal in 2019.

Its members are distinguished instrumentalists, and the ensemble has performed at several major festivals for contemporary music, such as Ultima in Oslo, Gaudeamus Festival in Amsterdam, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, and ISCM World Music Days in Stockholm and Hong Kong.
Many composers have written directly for the ensemble, resulting in well over a hundred premieres over the years. Together with directors, lighting designers, and video artists, KammarensembleN has carried out a series of acclaimed concert series in Stockholm. The ensemble has also undertaken several tours and recorded several critically acclaimed CDs.
For the anniversary concert, they take on Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen's Schnee – ten canons for nine instruments. It is music with crystalline clarity and evocative rhythms. The ten canons are presented in pairs, something Abrahamsen likens to seeing two versions in different colours of a painting with the same motif. For his sophisticated music, Abrahamsen has been awarded both the Nordic Council Music Prize and the Léonie Sonning Music Prize. He has also been a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music since 2017.

This Friday evening, we meet the Borregaard & Rostamo duo.
Johannes Rostamo moves musically from early Baroque to contemporary art music, from jazz to folk music. Since 2008, he has been the principal/solo cellist of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and since 2022 a professor at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Oslo- and Copenhagen-based Andreas Borregaard made his debut as an accordion soloist at the age of five. Today, he is one of the very best on the instrument.
In their spiritually oriented program, the Borregaard & Rostamo duo mix a thousand years of music. We hear works by the abbess and medieval mystic Hildegard of Bingen, Jouni Kaipainen's evocative Elemental Chanting, Britta Byström's Epiphanies, and the Polar Music Prize-winning Sofia Gubajdulina's In Croce – On the Cross. The latter is a title that relates both to the crucifixion and to how the gestures of music intersect.

Both in a newly written piece for strings, didgeridoo, and oboe d'amore by Loke Risberg, and in the intensely vibrant sixteenth string quartet by Australian Peter Sculthorpe, where the instrument complements the four strings. Playing the didgeridoo, we have Björn Bohlin, a multi-instrumentalist who previously played English horn in the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.
Gabriella Smith's Carrot Revolution is a tribute to the ability to find new ways to approach older artistic forms and expressions. "The piece is a patchwork of my very contrasting influences," she says.
The concert begins with Ghiribizzi for violin and cello by the Moldovan-Austrian composer and violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja. On her series of curiously explorative "ghiribizzi," she says: "It's not a tribute to Paganini, but I borrowed the title from his peculiar pieces for violin and guitar." Ghiribizz roughly translates to whims, quirks."
