Revelations: Schiff, Schubert, Franck & Ravaei at Chamber Music Northwest

Bach-inspired artistry and innovation ensue with Oregonian David Schiff’s Divertimento from his acclaimed Gimpel the Fool alongside the World Premiere of iPod Variations by one of America’s most unique emerging voices, Iranian American composer Kian Ravaei. Schubert’s enchanting The Shepherd on the Rock pairs soprano Hyunah Yu’s soaring voice with Artistic Director Emeritus David Shifrin’s lyrical clarinet, followed by a glorious conclusion with César Franck’s opulent Piano Quintet featuring pianist Yekwon Sunwoo and returning Protégé Quartet, Opus13.

7 pm | Kaul Auditorium Prelude Performance with local young artists

We have a special tradition of “picnics” before concerts at Reed College’s Kaul Auditorium. Reed’s catering service, Bon Appétit, offers food and drink service beginning at 6pm. Alternately, you can bring your own picnic, but alcoholic beverages must be purchased on-site.
