What makes the MADOC QUARTET so special? MQ Violist Sarah de Niverville didn’t miss a beat, saying: “Our strength as a quartet is that we share a genuine friendship.” Theirs is an enduring fellowship that goes beyond camaraderie, nurturing a sense of ensemble drawing the musicians, and all who have gathered to listen, together as one. When MQ plays chamber music for an intimate audience in a beloved community venue they are doing something that transcends playing the right notes in time and in tune.

“Their ensemble, and their ability to play together in a way that includes the audience - I heard that here. It made me feel the music like a musician, and I’ve never played a note in my life,” so said a recent patron.

Violinist Leslie Townsend says, “It’s about approachability,” with a nod towards MQ’s personable manner, on stage and off. Sebastian added the word “passion,” cellist JunKyu Park leaned into “dedication.” “Chamber Music is music made by friends for friends,” Leslie concludes. “Musician-friends practice and study, and then rehearse. Together. A lot. Because we want to do our best for the music and for each other, and for you.”

Come spend your Halloween afternoon with the MADOC QUARTET at HAZZARD'S CORNERS CHURCH, featuring works by Bach, Schumann and more!

Who is the MADOC QUARTET?

Performing traditional and new classical music in places you'd never expect, the Madoc Quartet has earned a reputation for playing chamber music “as it was meant to be heard”. International award-winning composer Pat Morehead says, “The Madoc Quartet is dedicated to performing contemporary and traditional music at the highest level. I have personally experienced their dedication and creativity in performing my compositions.” Flagship artists for the Quinte Society for Chamber Music since 2020, committed to making classical music accessible to all, MQ makes chamber music friendly, inviting and unforgettable. The Madoc Quartet takes its name from the rural Ontario community that embraced MQ as its own and chamber music as a local legacy. MQ operates from the shared belief that classical music belongs to everyone and that the string quartet is the best way to bring it to all.

Come spend your Halloween afternoon with the MADOC QUARTET at HAZZARD'S CORNERS CHURCH and see them for yourself!

Meet the MADOC QUARTET! Up next is cellist, JUNKYU PARK:

His sound is described by critics as “deep and sonorous” (Kumkin Daily, Korea), his technical ex*****on and interpretive integrity are consistently lauded by his peers. Korean born JunKyu Park immigrated to Canada to extend his musical training and develop his career. Accolades and prestigious awards soon followed, winning first prize in the Canadian Music Centre Competition and a score of others including the CBS National Music Competition and the Felix Galimir Award for Excellence in Chamber Music. Appearing as a soloist with renowned orchestras including Bucheon Philharmonic Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and Kindred Spirits Orchestra, JunKyu is consistently praised for his vibrant tone and charismatic presentation. JunKyu is a consummate chamber musician; MQ signed him on to complete the quartet in 2024. Earning his Master of Music degree from the University of Toronto on full scholarship, JunKyu also holds an Artist diploma from the Hartt School. While here as a scholarship student he was chosen to take part in their prestigious 20/20 ensemble program. His undergraduate degree was completed under scholarship at McGill University. Highlights of JunKyu Park’s professional career include serving as principal, assistant principal and section leader in the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Kingston Symphony Orchestra, Banff Festival Orchestra, Hartt Symphony Orchestra, University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Kindred Spirits Orchestra, Tongyoung Music Festival, and Bucheon Youth Orchestra. In demand as a clinician and chamber musician, JunKyu Park gives master classes at the University of Toronto and is a regular invited artist at Chamber Musical Festivals in the Banff Music Festival in Canada and the Nice Music Festiva, France.

What is the QUINTE SOCIETY FOR CHAMBER MUSIC?

As a registered charity and Ontario not-for-profit, QSCM offers live concerts and outreach events featuring professional musicians highly regarded in the field.

Free admission ensures that all can attend. This is made possible by the generosity of local donors, business and private, and project grants from municipal governments and the Ontario Arts Council, a provincial government agency.

The work of QSCM is done entirely by volunteers.

The goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of means, is able to experience classical music at its best. The impact is felt locally and beyond as QSCM fosters Canadian musical culture in our rural communities at the grassroots level.

At QSCM we believe that everyone is capable of beauty, and that classical music is a cultural heritage that belongs to us all.
