Chatter makes their WWCMF debut with music by J.S. Bach, Benjamin Britten, Magnus Lindberg, and Paul Wiancko for violin, cello, and clarinet. Based in Santa Fe, Portland (OR), and New York City, the musicians of Chatter believe deeply in the power of chamber music to foster connection and create community. Each musician tends and curates a local series in their respective hometown. By linking these series, sharing ideas, and collaborating in performance, Chatter eschews viral meme-culture in favor of word of mouth. In fact, it is possible to have a national network just by talking to one another. And there is no place better than Walla Walla, a city that boasts perhaps the best word-of-mouth “grapevine” in the nation, to revel in the power of word of mouth.Cellist Laura Metcalf is no stranger to WWCMF. This special performance outside the Festival’s traditional January and June Seasons marks Laura’s third time performing on the WWCMF stage. James Shields and Margot Schwartz join the Festival for the first time. WWCMF is delighted to return to the downtown locale of so many past January and June collaborations, House of Smith Wines. The prospect is so tantalizing that WWCMF Founder & Artistic Director Timothy Christie may just have to join Chatter for a cameo collaboration. (He will.)
Doors open at 6 PM.
All works will be announced from the stage.
A setlist will be published here and on social media after the performance.
Artists: Laura Metcalf, cello; Margot Schwartz, violin; James Shields, clarinet
$35.00
