Concordia Quartet delivers elegant, precise performance

Despite personnel changes in the past year, Concordia Quartet, the dedicated string quartet of Resound Collective, has been remarkably consistent in its concert programming.

Violinists Wilford Goh and Kim Kyu Ri, with violist Edward Tan and cellist Lin Juan, have continued to surprise and challenge audiences and their expectations.

The delightful evening opened conventionally with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Quartet No. 14 In G Major (K. 387), appropriately nicknamed Spring because of its freshness of thematic ideas and cheerful disposition.

With the musicians playing on a platform under a cupola, the setting resembled that of London's Wigmore Hall, but the shared experience of close engagement between the musicians and audience was real. Close-knit ensemble work, precise timing and accurate intonation were all part of the game, and the foursome generously delivered.
