Courage, mon amie (2021)

Program notes

Einarson’s  string quartet is influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and personal trials coincided with the creative process..Expressions of melancholy or grief on social media are often met with cheerful exclamations and cute emojis which, although meant as genuine expressions of support and encouragement, can easily be perceived as empty and detached. However, the sober exhortation "courage, mon amie" – take courage, my friend – from Einarsson's French-speaking friend became a beacon that, in Einarsson's own words, "broke through the darkness and showed the way forward."
