“I liked the variety of composers/styles and the exposure to local music groups, some of which I know only by name. I was expecting ‘safe’ and standard selections. I like the come-and-go aspect. Thank you.” —Pilar, 27
“I’ve never been to a mixed-genre concert like this. Piano jazz followed by Beethoven String Quartet! Do it every Sunday!” —John, 64
“The program demonstrated to me how the “traditional” chamber music nurtures and flows into all the music of the world.”—anonymous, 49
The lineup of performer has been selected by four curators—Renee Baldocchi, Katherine Bukstein, Kevin Chen, and Adam Fong.
