Calvary Lutheran Church, Eureka
Lutheran Church of Arcata
Join our performing guests as they give two rousing performances! Enjoy the atmosphere of an evening concert, with our guests artists presenting their greatest masterworks at their Mainstage Performance in Eureka. With this weekend pass you'll also be granted admission to our less formal afternoon Concert + Conversation series in Arcata, where our guests feature repertoire that is new or otherwise more off-the-cuff in nature than from their Mainstage Performance, highlighted by a guided interview session at the end of the concert with ECMS Artistic Director Tom Stone. Take this rare chance to hear about the creative process directly from the instrumentalists themselves!
Acclaimed for its “bold interpretive strength, robust characterization and commanding resonance” (Calgary Herald), the Verona Quartet has firmly established itself amongst the most distinguished ensembles on the chamber music scene today. The group’s singular sense of purpose most recently earned them Chamber Music America’s coveted 2020 Cleveland Quartet Award, and a reputation as an “outstanding ensemble… cohesive yet full of temperament” (The New York Times). The Quartet serves on the faculty of the Oberlin College and Conservatory as the Quartet-in-Residence, in addition to holding residences at the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance, Indiana University Summer String Academy and North Carolina’s Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle.
