About

ATMA Classique presents the world premiere recording of The Thailand HRDs, an epic 35-movement string quartet by critically acclaimed Canadian composer, Frank Horvat.

Performed by the world-renowned Mivos Quartet, each movement is inspired by the story behind the photos in Luke Duggleby’s photo essay, For Those Who Died Trying. Duggleby’s collection details the people in Thailand who were killed trying to stop the powerful interests who wanted to destroy their community’s environment.

Following Buddhist tradition, Duggleby travelled across Thailand placing a portrait of each victim at the place where they were murdered or went missing. The Thailand HRDs utilises the musical pitches/letters found in each victims’ name, weaving their unique musical DNA into each piece.

Born in Ottawa, Frank Horvat now lives by the lake in Toronto with Lisa Horvat, his wife/manager. Frank is an Associate Composer at the Canadian Music Centre and a member of the Canadian League of Composers. He is passionate about social issues related to human rights and the environment.
