Opening Night of CMNW’s 54th Summer Festival will be a not-to-be missed event celebrating Beethoven’s influence on the last two centuries of chamber music! Our first concert of the summer features many of our favorite CMNW artists, including violist Paul Neubauer and renowned pianist Alessio Bax performing an exquisite Brahms Viola Sonata. We will “replay” the delightful Ralph’s Old Records by Portland’s own Kenji Bunch. A new arrangement for chamber ensemble of Beethoven’s stunning Second Symphony will conclude the evening. A truly epic start to the summer!
Kenji Bunch’s Ralph’s Old Records was commissioned and premiered by Chamber Music Northwest in 2015 with the generous support of Carl Abbott and Margery Post Abbott.
This concert is sponsored by Heidi Yorkshire & Joseph Anthony.
This concert’s Prelude Performance is sponsored by George & Deborah Olsen.
