Info:
The Farallon Quintet, founded in the summer of 2012, is a dynamic Bay Area ensemble and the only professional chamber music group focused exclusively on the repertoire for clarinet quintet-string quartet plus clarinet. The group takes its name from the Farallon Islands, located off the coast of San Francisco. In addition to being a landmark location close to where the players live and work, its meaning-"pillar" or "steep rock" in Spanish-indicates the group's vision to become an important "pillar" or "rock" in classical music by building awareness around the lesser known yet musically significant clarinet quintet repertoire.
In addition to playing the classics, the quintet seeks to perform rarely heard works, innovative arrangements, and new music by living composers. Additionally, it seeks opportunities to present informal educational programs at such venues as schools, hospitals, museums, and retirement communities.
The quintet is made up of leading Bay Area musicians-Natalie Parker, clarinet Dan Flanagan and Matthew Oshida, violins Elizabeth Prior, viola and Jonah Kim, cello-who are principal players in such orchestras as the San Francisco Ballet, Santa Rosa Symphony, Marin Symphony, Berkeley Symphony, Fremont Symphony, Modesto Symphony, and the Sacramento Philharmonic.
The quintet's program with Berkeley Chamber Performances showcases its virtuosity in a commissioned work by Chad Cannon: Citizen 13660 (2013), as well as through Souvenirs de Voyage (1967) by Hitchcock's film composer, Bernard Herrmann, and in two quintets by Carl Maria Von Weber (1815) and Jean Francaix (1977).
Join the quintet for a lively discussion immediately after the performance at our reception.
