Carmen Braden - The Raven Conspiracy String Quartet | Edmonton Symphony Orchestra

In October 2020, at one of its public concerts presented under COVID restrictions, musicians of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra presented The Raven Conspiracy. This string quartet piece by Canadian composer Carmen Braden was warmly received by both the audience and its performers. The quartet later recorded a performance of this unique piece to share with a broader audience. “Ravens hold special roles in Canada's north: trickster, companion, troublemaker... The word for a group of ravens is a conspiracy - quite fitting to their mischievous and intelligent nature and social behaviour. Since I was young, they have been one of my favourite animals to listen to and watch, and even talk with! This piece follows the Raven into its daily life, and also into its mysterious history.” Carmen Braden, composer Program Notes and reflections from the musicians" https://res.cloudinary.com/winspear-c...
