On the 28^th of February and the 1^st and 2^nd of March 2003, the Cartier Quartet participated in an original recording of works by the Canadian composer Oleksa Lozowchuk. The work entitled “Bright Sadness” was written for cello, bass, string quartet, sopilka and mixed choir. Liturgical in character, the work mixes two worlds: the Oriental and the Occidental, with innovative writing inspired by folklore and psalms, which reveals a deep and pointed reflection on musical thought and humanity. This was a very exciting and enriching experience for the Cartier Quartet. We’d like to take this opportunity to salute organizer’s Oleksa’s artist talent during this beautiful adventure.
