Chamber Music, just outside...
the confines of 'chamber'
An unassuming SE Portland backyard hosts a concert series of light chamber music and popular song under an apple tree. Relive a moment of your grandparent's youth while having your photo taken sitting in a real paper moon, listening to music of their day! Enjoy a refreshing dessert while listening to effervescent music. Relax and enjoy being outside in a Portland evening, accompanied by musicians who share their love of their craft, and their home, Portland.
The back gate opens at 6:30pm. Bring your friends and family, a picnic basket and a blanket. The musicians assemble beneath the apple tree at 7:30pm and accompany your evening until the stars come out.
Musicians for this summer of concerts: Elizabeth Byrd, cello; Maria Garcia, piano; Michael Kissinger, clarinet;
Maria Manzo, piano; Douglas Webster, vocals.
