This album album features JUNO Award-winning composer Vivian Fung’s String Quartets Nos. 1-4, composed over a span of 18 years from 2001 to 2019. Truly a collaborative effort, the portrait album was recorded by the Jasper String Quartet with the composer in the studio, in October 2022. The album title is borrowed from the subtitle of Fung’s fourth quartet.
