NEW MUSIC TUESDAY | Composer Eleanor Alberga’s String Quartet No. 1 [PREMIERE RECORDING]

The Ensemble Arcadiana performing the world premiere recording of Jamaican composer Eleanor Alberga‘s String Quartet No. 1.
“My three quartets were written within a few years of each other –
between 1993 and 2001 … ” Eleanor has told The Violin Channel.
“I owe a great deal to my late dear friend David Angel (1955- 2017),
long serving 2nd violinist in the Maggini Quartet, for instigating the
commissioning of both the 1st and 3rd quartets … the 2nd was
commissioned by the Smith Quartet – a group dedicated to the performance
of contemporary music,” she has said.
