As always, our vital chamber music series has been curated to showcase the brilliant talent of many of the world’s finest classical artists along with the top tier of the most promising young talents in the field today. The intimacy and warmth of the Joseph F. Wheeler Theater at Fort Worden State Park provides an ideal venue for our dynamic performances. Come and experience chamber music at its highest level. We look forward to seeing you again, and I thank you for your support!

Celebrating The String Quartet |
|
Franz Josef Haydn changed the landscape of classical music when he codified the string quartet as a genre starting in about 1757. The range of the instruments from low to high, the ability of the four instruments to whisper or shout, and the almost limitless emotional variety have drawn composers to turn to the string quartet as a vessel for their most inspired work. Centrum celebrates the form by presenting three of the finest quartets performing today. SUBSCRIBERS: Renewal and/or reservation of new seats for the entire series are available only by phone or e-mail to our box office. Please call (360) 385-3102 extension 110 or e-mail us here. Thank you! Renewal seats will be held through January 16, then made available for the general public. |
