Skip to main contentYou know that cute guy or girl you've been staring at longingly at the coffee shop, but you never asked them out because going to see The Hobbit in 3D wasn't exactly what you thought would impress them? Well, here's your golden opportunity to impress the hell out of 'em. Chamber Blast is coming to Portland! Five of the city's most pioneering arts organizations - Chamber Music Northwest, Friends of Chamber Music, Portland Piano International, Portland Youth Philharmonic and Third Angle New Music - are banding together to bring you a winter storm of exceptional, intimate, and live chamber music! It will be fourteen concerts in fourteen days. That's fourteen chances to woo your beloved.
âSo, what is chamber music?â you might ask. Well, we covered that yesterdayâ¦but the short of it is: awesome, intimate (thatâs good for a date!), and live music performed by just a few really talented musicians. And in Chamber Blastâs case itâs really, really talented musicians playing.
Youâll have the opportunity to see a world class Russian pianist Denis Kozhukhin (heâs only 28), incredibly talented young kids at Camerata PYPâs concert, the superb Dover String Quartet, Matthew Polenzani, a gifted tenor, and a ton of other extraordinary musicians.
Plus these folks arenât just hanging out on stage. Theyâre playing a huge variety from the world of chamber music â avant-garde and contemporary pieces, traditional pieces, vocal pieces, pieces for quartet, solo piano, chamber orchestra and more. This ainât your grandaddyâs chamber music, thatâs for sure.
How sophisticated and suave will you look when you bring that coffee shop sweetie to something like this? The answer is very sophisticated and utterly suave. So comb your beard or put on your red lipstick and letâs do this!
