Friday 4 July 2008 - Frevo Quartet Concert (13.15)
The Frevo Quartet will give a lunchtime concert on Friday
4 July at 1.15pm. Comprising Aisling Agnew (flute),
Feargus Hetherington (violin), Matthew McAllister (guitar)
and Douglas Whates (bass), this unusual combination of
instruments evokes a distinctive sound – one more
synonymous with traditional Latin American music than
Western art music. Whether it's a simple Cuban habanera
or a fiery Argentinian tango, the quartet relish this rich
tradition, delivering fascinating arrangements and interesting
twists on repertoire both old and new. Their recent Natural
Studio Records release, Histoire du Tango, is the first in
a series of themed EPs. The programme will include
Anonymous 'Arisaig', Christopher Stout, 'Hamnataing',
and Astor Piazzolla, 'Histoire du Tango'. For further
details see the cathedral website at:

Washington University in Bellingham, and Portland State
University, a teach of the year in 1994 for The Dalles High
School and was a finalist for Oregon Teacher of the Year in
2003. The choir has performed all over the world, and the
repertoire for this tour will include sacred and secular
