Villa-Lobos Quartet in Montréal

James Darling, cellist from Le Quatuor Saint-Germain, sends information about an upcoming concert series on the Île de Montréal which features the great First Villa-Lobos String Quartet. Coincidentally, I've just flown back from Montréal to Red Deer. Would that I could have stuck around in one of my favourite cities until October!
