Special Chamber Music Presentations in November
|
Music was classified by its social function in the
Renaissance and Baroque eras as being either church music, theater music, or chamber music. Chamber music is composed for a small group of musicians to be performed in a small space such as a house or a palace "chamber". Because of its intimate nature, chamber music has been described as "the music of friends". |
Join us this month for two presentations of Chamber Music
in two different island "special chambers". Saturday, November 10th, 3 PM West Tisbury Library for the free Artist in Residence Concert. Friday November 23rd, 7:30 PM Chilmark Community Center for our annual Thanksgiving Concert. |

We are thrilled to welcome Quartet San Francisco for the
Artist in Residence (AIR) Program. Three-Time Grammy Nominated Quartet San Francisco will lead a string-player focused educational program for the Vineyard's public schools in collaboration with the Martha's Vineyard Chamber Music Society. The sound of music echoed through the Oak Bluffs School Wednesday morning, November 7, 2018, as a group of students played alongside the Quartet San Francisco. See the QSF at the Oaks Bluffs School The Quartet will begin their engagements on Monday, November 5, 2018 and conclude with a Free Concert on Saturday, November 10, at the West Tisbury Free Public Library at 3:00 pm. This Artist in Residence program is the fourth collaboration of its kind with members of Quartet San Francisco and it will be the first time the whole quartet will be available to students through the educational program. While on the Vineyard, they will be engaging students through private lessons, sectionals, and school presentations. They will be available to conduct classes for violin, viola, cello and bass students. Concluding the Artist in Residence program will be a concert for all ages featuring compositions and arrangements by Giovanni Sollima, Raymond Scott, Helmut Lipsky, and Jeremy Cohen. Grammy nominees for their last three CD releases and Argentine Consulate International Tango competition winners (New York, 2004), Quartet San Francisco expresses itself in its agility and standout virtuosic playing. QSF was founded in 2001 by celebrated Bay Area violinist and composer-arranger Jeremy Cohen. He is joined by violinist Joseph Christianson, violist Chad Kaltinger, and cellist Andres Vera. As crossover specialists QSF excels in multiple styles, from jazz to tango, pop to funk, blues to bluegrass, gypsy swing to big band, and beyond. The residency has been made possible by grants and funds awarded by MVYouth, The Peter and Elizabeth Tower Foundation, The Permanent Endowment, The Local Cultural Council, and The West Tisbury Free Public Library.
