Portland Chamber Music Festival: Great Explorations

Explore three centuries of chamber music in one unforgettable evening. Bach’s monumental Chaconne for solo violin is a tour de force — an entire universe of emotion contained in a single movement. Charles Loeffler’s hauntingly beautiful Deux Rhapsodies follows, reimagined with soprano saxophone in place of oboe. This glorious opening night program culminates in a masterful piano quartet by Johannes Brahms — turbulent, tender, and utterly transcendent.
