The raison d’être of the Edinburgh Quartet’s “Late Sessions” is to take string quartet repertoire to those who might not yet consider a formal concert the ideal evening out.This particular performance took place in the Lounge Bar of Teviot House, Edinburgh.
Symposium Hall is a new 158-seat church conversion venue in Edinburgh’s attractive Hill Square. Its mix of tradition and newness made a fitting venue for the final date in Svara-Kanti’s UK tour. Encoded in the name (svara = sound/notes and kanti = beauty) is the group’s raison d’être; the new territory to be found in the marriage of Indian and Western instruments and traditions.
