2019/2020

Welcome to the 32nd season of the Jeffery Concerts,

made possible by a generous gift of the late Gordon

Jeffery. Gordon was a devoted and enthusiastic

promoter of classical music in

London, and we are proud to

continue his legacy with this

outstanding concert series.

The new season combines some

beloved old friends with some

new faces. We welcome back the

Gryphon Trio to begin the season, followed by the

Penderecki String Quartet with Arthur Rowe, and

later in the season the St. Lawrence String Quartet.

You will also hear in “Boccheriniana” a group of five

Canadian and European musicians featuring work of

Boccherini. An exciting first for this concert series will

be the TorQ Percussion Quartet (mallet instruments

and drums). Also new to us will be the internationally

acclaimed Quatuor Danel, accompanied by noted

French pianist Lise de la Salle.

We have not forgotten that 2020 is the 250th

anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven.

To celebrate, we have two very special concerts. In

November 2019 pianist Minsoo Sohn, First Laureate

of the Honens International Piano Competition

(2006), will perform a program of Beethoven piano

sonatas. In March 2020, violinist Jonathan Crow and

pianist Arthur Rowe will present, in a two-concert

weekend, the complete (all 10) Beethoven violin

sonatas — a rare event!

Please join us for this exciting and innovative

season of chamber music.jefferyconcerts.com

TorQ Percussion

Quartet

torqpercussion.ca

TorQ’s music defies genre barriers. With repertoire ranging from sweetly lyrical works for mallet instruments, to no-holds-barred, high-energy percussive show pieces, TorQ Percussion Quartet’s fundamental objective is to share the incredible variety and vitality of percussion with their unique programs. Their concerts feature standard, new and improvised works and their boundless appetite for creativity has led the group to be among North America’s most cutting-edge ensembles.
