Our 2021 Festival Finale is a fitting testament to the trials and tribulations of the past 18 months, a collective journey of reflection — and now rejoicing. Bass-baritone Davóne Tines performs his groundbreaking exploration of the Mass woven through Western European, African American, and 21st-century traditions. As the grand finale, the Brentano String Quartet and cellist Paul Watkins perform Schubert’s profound Cello Quintet — one of the most inspiring chamber works ever composed.
About the Festival: After a year without live music, we are so excited to share our plans for a joyful and reflective Chamber Music Northwest 2021 Summer Festival! We present to you an array of thrilling and deeply moving repertoire, performed by the greatest artists in the world, that you can enjoy both live and at home.
Some of CMNW’s favorite performers will return, such as the Dover and Brentano string quartets, and cellist Paul Watkins of the Emerson Quartet. The East Coast Chamber Orchestra, saxophonist Timothy McAllister, guitarist Jason Vieaux, and bass-baritone Davóne Tines headline the star-studded cast who will make their CMNW debuts. Timeless classics such as Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings and Copland’s Appalachian Spring will be heard alongside five exciting world premieres.
We hope you will join us this summer, for both live and at-home performances, to reflect on the past year and rejoice with the optimism that music brings into our lives!
The broadcast will take place at 7:30pm.
