The Rolston String Quartet
Rory McLeod, guest violist

Join the Rolston String Quartet and guest Violist Rory McLeod for a family-friendly concert that embraces neurodiversity and disability. This special concert, presented in collaboration with Toronto Summer Music, includes a performance of Seven Miniatures, an original piece of music written by seven composers who identify as being neurodivergent or having a disability. The theme of this concert is Back to the Future! Time travel back and forth with us from present day to the distant past, exploring the musical connections between old and new music.
