Chamber Concert 1: Opening Night
This event is currently only available as part of a Ticket Package. Single Tickets will be available on April 23.
The SLO Music & Arts Festival kicks off with an exciting opening night chamber music concert featuring three masterpieces. A lovely quartet by Haydn opens the concert, dubbed the “Lark” because of a famous singing theme in the first movement. Martinů's sextet is a complex piece that brought the composer recognition in the U.S. after it was premiered in Washington D.C. and received the 1932 Coolidge Prize. Closing the concert is Bloch’s agitated and energetic first piano quintet, which he composed while serving as director of the Cleveland Institute of Music.
