The Borodin Quartet Taking in Vancouver: Grouse Mountain

May 12, 2015

Ever wonder what the acclaimed Borodin Quartet do on their days between concerts? Well, we’ve been taking them around our beautiful city. Here are some photos taken on Grouse Mountain. The perfect place on a gorgeous, sunny day and the views were stellar for our guests.

Of course we couldn’t resist taking a photo with the sculpture of the man holding a chainsaw (series of 16 foot sculptures “Tribute to the Forest” by Glenn Greensides). Does it remind you of anything?
