Blue Engine String Quartet in Mahone Bay (New date: April 2025)

Musique Royale is delighted to welcome Blue Engine String Quartet to Mahone Bay on Friday April 25 at 7pm for a performance at St John's Evangelical Lutheran Church. The concert will include works by Elgar, Haydn, Piaf, Piazzolla, Dvorak, Delibes and more.

The fabulous Halifax-based quartet was formed in 1997 as the core ensemble of the Nova Scotia chamber music series, Blue Engine Music. Featuring Jennifer Jones (violin), Anne Simons (violin), Alexandra Bates (viola), and Hilary Brown (cello), Blue Engine has been artist-in-residence at the Maritime Conservatory of Performing Arts, Acadia University, Cecilia Concerts in Halifax, and is heard frequently on national CBC Radio and CBC.ca. Named after "The Little Blue Engine That Could," the quartet is known for their compelling performances of both Classical masterworks and the music of living artists, including acclaimed Canadian composers!
