Description:
For a commission by the Cheswatyr Foundation for the Borromeo String Quartet; Matheson created a three-movement work on the construct of the Borromean rings - 'a chain of rings in which all rings are connected as a unit; but in which no two individual rings are connected.' In this concept; each individual element is every bit as important and essential as the whole; and the whole collapses if any link in the chain is taken away. The work was premiered by the Borromeo String Quartet with Judith Gordon (piano). For advanced performers.
