The Opus Quintet

Please join the Opus Quintet at Clio's on Saturday, March 29, 4:30–6pm, for a sublime afternoon of cocktails and chamber music:

"Opus provides regular, small ensemble performance opportunities where interested players can meet other chamber music enthusiasts and expand their repertoire. As a result, Oakland locals get to enjoy accessible mini-concerts of an ever-changing variety of classical genres in a casual, intimate atmosphere.

After all, chamber music was historically played—and we believe is best-enjoyed to this day—in close quarters, among compatriots. The form has been described as "the music of friends" and as "a rational conversation between four people." While there are in fact five of us in this group (Thomas Chow and Leila Hebshi on violins, Sara Rusché and Matt Van Pelt on violas, Diane Louie on cello) and of dubious rationality at that, we truly could not imagine a better setting for the continuance of this tradition than the cozy, boisterous chambers of Clio's, and we hope you will enjoy.

Opus Oakland was created in October of 2016 by members of Oakland Civic Orchestra, a community orchestra affiliated with Oakland Parks and Recreation."
