Critic Bernard Jacobson attended the 2008 Port Townsend Chamber Music Festival, and posted his review online. An excerpt…

"The concept of this week of activities was particularly promising: after several days of master classes led by established instrumentalists, the Tokyo String Quartet, an ensemble of undoubted international stature, and the much younger Attacca String Quartet shared responsibility for two concerts given in the charming Joseph F. Wheeler Theater in Fort Worden State Park. At the Friday concert, the 280-seat hall was full, the acoustics seemed excellent, and the performances were splendid."
