Info:
Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events.
The Bay Area's newest period instrument string quartet, The Sylvestris Quartet - Anna Washburn and Tyler Lewis, violins, Aaron Westman, viola, and Gretchen Claassen, cello - continues their exploration of the metamorphosis of the string quartet and the cyclical nature of music. Part 1 of this program began with Biber and went all the way to "late" Beethoven (and then went back to Biber). Tonight in Part 2, they'll play works from Beethoven to George Onslow (the "French Beethoven"), and Maurice Ravel, and track the string quartet not only as a compositional form, but also as an ensemble.
There will, of course, be snax, and the newly acoustically refurbished hall at the El Cerrito Hillside Swedenborgian Church will be the perfect space to venture into the intricate world of Barefoot favorites Onslow and Ravel. Yes, the French did have classical music, you just seldom hear it! But Sylvestris will see to that.
