SEASON FINALE: The Crown City String Quartet!
MAY 17th Unitarian Universalist Fellowship 7:30 PM, Unity Community of Central Oregon High Desert Chamber Music’s 2023-24 season concludes next week with the Crown City String Quartet. As resident performers, the group has made an annual appearance in Bend over the past fifteen years. Founded in 2007, their performances have been praised as "sublime" and "simply moving and spectacular". Based in the Crown City —Pasadena, California—the members are current and former members and principal players of some of Southern California's most renowned music organizations, including the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra, Pasadena Symphony, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, San Diego Symphony, and San Diego Chamber Orchestra. They are regularly featured in a number of concert series in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest.
This concert is brought to you by Hayden Homes and will take place on Friday, May 17, 2024, at 7:30pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Ticket holders may join Scott Elnes from Central Oregon Daily for a concert preview with the musicians at 6:45pm.
The program includes String Quartet in D minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and String Quartet No.2 by Alexander Borodin. Also on the program will be the premiere of a new work by Hollywood composer and local Bend resident Chris Thomas, commissioned by High Desert Chamber Music for the group. “I'm so excited the Crown City String Quartet will premiere my new piece, Potion of Eleusis! It's not everyday a composer is treated to an esteemed ensemble playing your new works, so this is a very special event for me,” says Chris Thomas.
Tickets are available through HDCM online, by phone, or in person at their office in Downtown Bend.
