Formed in Toronto in 2015 and named for the “Norse god’s restless hunger for knowledge,” the Odin Quartet has built its reputation on pairing string-quartet tradition with curiosity: commissioning new Canadian works, serving since 2018 as Ensemble-in-Residence for the Scarborough Philharmonic Orchestra, and drawing acclaim at festivals across the country. For Halloween Hauntings, that exploratory spirit twists toward the eerie: a program of festive, shadowy repertoire delivered with all the technical polish and interpretive depth the quartet brings to any classical masterwork.
