Chamber Music Northwest Presents 2021 SUMMER FESTIVAL

With a festival that began July 1, Chamber Music Northwest presents the final weekend of the 2021 Summer Festival which continues through July 25. The 51st annual festival featured four weeks of live musical programming, as well as an at-home summer festival series.

For week four of the 2021 Summer Festival, CMNW is offering four more live, limited seating, in-person concerts through July 25 at Reed College's Kaul Auditorium. With releases dropping exactly two weeks after the LIVE festival premiere, the AT-HOME Festival began July 15 featuring produced recordings of the festival's live concerts. This week, WEEK 2 programs - world premiere A Song by Mahler, Sounds of Brilliance and Unity, and Vesper Flight & Les Adieux premieres - will stream online with an AT-HOME Festival single or all-access pass. The AT-HOME concerts can be viewed online at cmnw.org through August 31.

WEEK 4: CLOSING WEEK - REFLECT, REJOICE & REIMAGINE

The final week of the 2021 Summer Festival features CMNW 2021-22 Artists-in-Residence the Brentano Quartet and the Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio in Classical masterpieces by Haydn, Schubert, and Brahms. The inspired festival finale presents the astounding bass-baritone Davóne Tines in selections from his deeply moving MASS, and Schubert's divine cello quintet.

The internationally renowned Brentano String Quartet begin their tenure as CMNW's 2021-22 Artists-in-Residence merging their "luxuriously warm sound and yearning lyricism" (The New York Times) with the dark expression of Haydn and Barber on the first half of this program. The Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio, consisting of CMNW Artistic Directors Gloria Chien and Soovin Kim, and Paul Watkins of the Emerson String Quartet, makes its CMNW debut with Brahms's glorious C major piano trio.

Our 2021 Festival Finale is a fitting testament to the trials and tribulations of the past 18 months, a collective journey of reflection - and now rejoicing. Bass-baritone Davóne Tines performs his groundbreaking exploration of the Mass woven through Western European, African American and 21st century traditions. As the grand finale, the Brentano String Quartet and cellist Paul Watkins perform Schubert's profound Cello Quintet - one of the most inspiring chamber works ever composed.
