Afternoon of Chamber Music
January 25 @ 2:00 pm
Over the past several years, CGOA’s annual Chamber Music Concert has become a winter favorite, with audiences at capacity. The concert is an opportunity for individual musicians from the Gorge Sinfonietta and other ensembles to stretch their musical wings. For the musicians, it’s a chance to prepare their favorite music independently of large group rehearsals.
Past concerts have included an incredibly diverse selection of performers, from brass ensembles to string trios to solo highland bagpipes. This year’s concert will be Sunday, January 25, at 2 PM in the Sanctuary of Hood River Valley Christian Church, 975 Indian Creek Rd, Hood River. The program is still being finalized, but as always, it’s guaranteed to be delightfully eclectic and entertaining. One confirmed highlight is the premiere of “Folktales,” written by Mitchell Jett Spencer for the Hood River String Quartet.
The Afternoon of Chamber Music is free, no ticket required, with donations accepted at the door.
The concert is part of CGOA’s 20th Anniversary Season, which also includes upcoming Jazz Collective dances, a joint performance with the Voci Community Choir and Sinfonietta in April, Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods in May and a Piano Summit concert in June, featuring soloists Kathy Apland and Mitchell Jett Spencer.
