The Fulton Street Chamber Players, a local group with revolving professional artists, returns to Folio to start its fourth season. Founders Walter Gray, cello, and Rachel Swerdlow, viola, will be joined for this concert by Elisa Barston, principal second violinist with Seattle Symphony, and Judith Cohen, pianist and director of the Governor's Chamber Music Series in Olympia.
This will be the first concert in Folio's new space in the Pike Place Market. These concerts are performed "in the round," with audience members sitting close and encircling the performers. A complimentary wine reception follows, where these fine musicians meet audience members.
