Additional Information
On January 17, the young Quebec ensemble Quatuor Cobalt officially launched its first album, Reflets du temps. Through three works by female composers of different periods and styles (Maddalena Sirmen, Fanny Mendelssohn and Alicia Terzian), ranging from the classical era to the present day, the quartet – made up of Guillaume Villeneuve and Diane Bayard (violins), Clément Bufferne (viola) and François Leclerc (cello) – express a shared passion for the variety of the string quartet repertoire, while adding their own personal touch, notably through interpretation on period instruments. PAN M 360 contributor Alexandre Villemaire spoke with François Leclerc about this launch and the quartet’s upcoming projects.
