Opening Night of CMNW’s 54th Summer Festival will be a not-to-be missed event celebrating Beethoven’s influence on the last 250 years 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!

Join Scott Yoo and the Festival Artists as they take you on a “museum docent’s tour” of Sibelius’ Piano Quintet in G minor. They will discuss the piece's history, the composer's influences and musical style, and perform some selections. These are amazing opportunities to learn a little more about some of this great music before you attend the concerts.
Festival Mozaic is proud to present its first summer chamber music concert at the Templeton Performing Arts Center. Beethoven’s Kakadu Variations for piano trio opens the program, followed by Louise Farrenc’s wonderful bass quintet (string quartet plus a bass), and Ruth Crawford Seeger’s violin sonata written in 1926. Mendelssohn’s sextet finishes the program, which is almost a chamber piano concerto given the virtuosic and dominating part for the piano.
Recital with Susan Grace featuring works by Debussy, Dohnanyi, Hersh, and Wiancko
