Borealis Quartet Tickets

The Borealis Quartet, formed in Vancouver, BC in 2000, brings a distinctive voice to the chamber music scene. Comprising Patricia Shih, Yuel Yawney, Nikita Pogrebnoy, and Sungyong Lim, they fuse the rigour of classical quartet language with folk, world, and contemporary textures. As former Quartet-in-Residence at the University of British Columbia for over a decade and long-time associates of Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Langley (residency since 2014), they have established deep connections with Canadian audiences and regional presenters alike.

With eight albums released between 2003 and 2012, Borealis Quartet has built a discography that reflects their adventurous approach—capturing both intimate chamber works and exploratory collaborations. Their achievements include selection for the Great Canadian Dream Competition, a performance for the Canadian Prime Minister at Parliament Hill, and a Golden Melody Award nomination in Asia for a recent CD. Their performances are known for energy, precision, and an irresistible sense of musical curiosity.
