Cicada Woods is Canada’s newest all-women tango-fusion string quartet. Performing amplified and pushing the sonic limits of their instruments – with percussive effects, siren wails, scratches, and driving rhythms – Cicada Woods promises an electrifying blend of tradition and innovation. This concert will feature their own fiery arrangement of Argentine tango master Astor Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, reimagined by the group for violin, viola, cello, and double bass, alongside the premiere of a new classical work by Gemini Award-winning Canadian composer, Robert Carli, written for the ensemble and inspired by Toronto’s four seasons. The group features Suhashini Arulanandam (violin), Esme Allen-Creighton (viola), Sybil Shanahan (cello), and Shannon Wojewoda (double bass).
In the event of inclement weather, our rain venue will be Erin Mills United Church – 3010 The Collegeway, Mississauga. We will share this info by 2 pm the day of the concert.
