The Morita String Quartet Concert held on 20 October at the Empire Ballroom was beyond a doubt a “mesmerising melodic evening” to all the classical music lovers who attended the event.

The string quartet is known as the most prominent chamber ensembles in classical music. The musicians lead by Masahiro Morita (violin), Asa Nakajima (Violin), Gentaro Sakaguchi (Viola), Hiroshi Miyasaka (Violoncello) and Eshatha J Peiris (Piano), kept the audience on the edge of their seats throughout their performance.

The stage set standards for the musicians to aspire to; they provided a platform for emerging outstanding talent, to be showcased before a discerning musical audience.

The players moved together with absolute unanimity, this was reflected in the unity of their sound. They gave a magical performance. It was inventive, engaging, moving and beautiful. The audience was glad to be apart of this stimulating and awe-inspiring concert. The evening endorsed the statement made by one of the guests, when he said, “Music sets the spirit free and allows us to connect with people.”
