Events Description
Harry Manx & Strathcona String Quartet is live at the New Moon Folk Club.
Come enjoy an unforgettable evening where “mystic” will meet “magic”, as the incredible Harry Manx performs with Edmonton’s legendary Strathcona String Quartet! Harry Manx, often called an “essential link” between East and West, masterfully blends the soulful traditions of blues with the intricate depth of Indian classical ragas. Born on the Isle of Man and raised in Canada, Manx’s musical journey took him across Europe, Japan, India, and Brazil. In the mid-80s, he began a transformative five-year tutelage under Rajasthani musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, who gifted him the Mohan Veena, a 20-stringed sitar-guitar hybrid that became his signature instrument.
This unique fusion of Eastern and Western sounds defines Manx’s “mysticssippi” style, creating a captivating and genre-defying musical experience. The Strathcona String Quartet has been a cultural Edmonton treasure since 1987. They are well known for their magical world premiere performances of works by local and international composers. The Strathcona String Quartet have released two highly praised albums, which are frequently heard on radio stations across North America – including CBC radio and Edmonton’s own CKUA and CJSR.
