In 2023-2024, the Formosa Quartet will be recording four of George Frederick McKay’s reflective, playful, and intricate string quartets with Seattle’s GRAMMY award-winning music director and principal conductor of the Northwest Sinfonia, David Sabee, as producer. This world-premiere recording will be the first commercial release of these string quartets (said to be McKay's favorite compositional form) and will celebrate the 125th anniversary of his birth in 2024-2025. The Formosa Quartet will be recording these works at the Bastyr Chapel in Kenmore, WA.
