The Vaughan String Quartet will be performing with classical accordionist Antonio Peruch. Antonio is a unique international virtuoso classical concert accordionist. His world-class performances as soloist with orchestras and chamber ensembles are loved by audiences wherever he performs. Knighted by the Republic of Italy for his contribution to music, Antonio Peruch pursues his vision of the accordion as an exciting classical concert instrument.
Founded in Edmonton on February 2013, with its debut concert on March 24, 2013 at the Robertson-Wesley United Church in Edmonton, the Vaughan String Quartet has immediately received an enthusiastic response from the audience and the Edmonton music community. The group has received reviews from the Edmonton Journal and St. Albert Gazette and has appeared in live radio broadcast (CBC Radio Canada) and television (L’Alberta en Bref).
With only two years together, the quartet is already part of the musical scene of Alberta having collaborated with many of Alberta’s music societies and artists such as Edmonton Opera, Edmonton Verdi Festival, the Banff Centre, Western Canadian Music Award with classical accordionist Antonio Peruch, composer Robert Rival (former composer in residence for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra), University of Alberta Symphony Orchestra, Alberta College Conservatory of Music, and the St. Albert Chamber Music Recital Series.
During various occasions the Vaughan String Quartet has been coached by the members of the Cecilia String Quartet, Lafayette String Quartet, Dover String Quartet, Penderecki String Quartet and by Gerald Stanick (former violist of the Fine Art Quartet).
The Vaughan String Quartet was Artist in Residence at the Banff Centre – Banff, AB (Canada) during the Winter Program (March 2014) and the Late Fall Program (November 2014), presenting concerts and recitals and collaborating with composers in residence. The quartet has been invited to perform its first international concert in 2015 in New York City for the Pan American Music Art Research (PAMAR).
Besides their performance schedule, the members of the Vaughan String Quartet conduct a String Quartet Course at the Alberta College Conservatory of Music – MacEwan University.
