Founded in 2020, Blue Dawn Quartet brings together the warm, luminous voices of Kimberley Lynch, Meagan Zantingh, Alexandra Asher and Rona Nadler in performances that are both light-hearted and heart-felt. The group’s first major project was recording a set of original songs by quartet member and director Rona Nadler on texts by Yiddish poet Kadya Molodowsky. Since then, Blue Dawn Quartet has performed these songs in concert many times in the Montreal area, while the song "In Bloyen Baginen IX," placed third in the "Best Partially Original Yiddish Song" category at the 2021 Bubbe Awards at the Kleztival International Jewish Music Festival. The group has performed across the Montreal region with CAM en tournée (Montreal Arts Council on Tour) and has been featured at both the KlezKanada Summer Retreat and Festival de la Voix. In addition to performing original compositions, Blue Dawn seeks out other repertoire that is strong in emotional resonance and storytelling, ranging in style from pop, jazz and folk arrangements to more abstract contemporary works, with an emphasis on female composers and poets.
