Six Jaw-Dropping Moments at BISQC 2013

CBC Music's pick for the quartet that best performed "String Quartet No. 3" at the Banff International String Quartet Competition is the Linden Quartet. (Although, it should be noted that the Dover Quartet won the $2,000 prize for best perfomance of Vivian's work.)

The third of 10 consecutive performances of Vivian Fung's String Quartet No. 3, Linden Quartet's boldly articulated approach to this new work made it easy for listeners to grasp its structure. An emotional ride, Linden Quartet's Fung left a lasting impression.
