| 31-Jan-2013 St Lawrence Centre For The Arts: Jane Mallett Theatre | St Lawrence String Quartet at Music Toronto make Haydn, Britten and Zwilich sing |
 People want to be in love and to live forever. That is not how things work out. Haydn explores this contradiction in his string quartets.

They made the music sing in a way that was vital and refreshing.
