​Featured Repertoire:
String quartets by Tchaikovsky, Janáček, and Beethoven


"The audience at the Phillips Collection’s weekly concert series is ordinarily one of the most alert and involved in the city. But I’m not sure I’ve felt even a Phillips audience on the edge of their seats quite like they were on Sunday afternoon for Quatuor Danel’s performance of string quartets..."
-David Rohde

2017 - 2018 Concert Series

Hamburg Steinway Grand Piano
Our 58th season was filled with “award-winning” musician's from all over the world. They wowed the audience with their spectacular use of dynamics and splendid artistry. This year, Chamber Music Corvallis is bringing you the best of European chamber music. The five ensembles joining us this year are known for fantastic musicianship.

​Two major changes have been instituted from last year’s program. The first is to benefit from the availability of a magnificent new Hamburg Steinway 7-ft grand piano at the FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Also, the semi-circular layout and size of the First Presbyterian Sanctuary truly offers one the chance to witness world-class chamber music “up close and personal!” The second is the changing weeknights of our concerts (two Fridays, two Mondays, and one Wednesday evening). European ensembles schedule short tours of North America, during which there are very few days open for booking them. We have thus had to forego our attempt to schedule all Friday evening concerts for our 2017-2018 all-European series.

Our 59th Season features five European ensembles, four of whom are new to Corvallis, The Schubert Ensemble of London (violin, viola, cello, and piano) is performing here for their eighth and last time, after 34 years together. Poland is represented by the Meccore Quartet. The unique “piano windtet” (oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, and piano), Ensemble 4.1, is from Germany. The five string players and clarinetist of the Camarata RCO are members of the famous Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. Last in our series is the Quatuor Danel from Belgium.
