THIS CONCERT IS ALSO PART OF THE 2009 COLLABORATION EXULTATION SPRING FESTIVAL.

Philip Candelaria, Denis Donegani, Patrick Roux, Louis Trepanier, guitar; members of DanceWorks Chicago

Since their debut in 1999, the Canadian Guitar Quartet – Philip Candelaria, Denis Donegani, Patrick Roux, and Louis Trépanier – has toured extensively in North and South America, building a world-class reputation. Currently in residence at the University of Ottawa, the group has made a name for itself with Latin-inspired rhythms and complex yet clear musical textures. Classical Guitar Magazine praises the quartet’s “fantastic, spirited playing and sheer inventiveness.” The program includes music influenced by tango styles old and new as well as works by Beethoven and quartet member Trépanier. Performance highlights include two electrifying world premieres featuring the exciting and innovative new dance company DanceWorks Chicago, choreographed by Miguel Perez.

Tickets are $24 for the general public, $21 for seniors and Northwestern faculty and staff, and $11 for students.
