The Crown City String Quartet will return to Bend for High Desert Chamber Music’s 15th season.
Violinists Isabelle Senger and Kevin Kumar, violist Carrie Holzman-Little, and cellist Dane Little will perform at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon on Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
“Founded in 2007, their performances have been praised as ‘sublime’ and ‘simply moving and spectacular,’” High Desert Chamber Music said in its announcement. “Based in the Crown City — Pasadena, California — the members are current and former members and principal players of some of Southern California’s most renowned music organizations, including the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra, Pasadena Symphony, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, San Diego Symphony, and San Diego Chamber Orchestra. They are regularly featured in a number of concert series in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest.”
