2018 - 2019 Concert Series


Our 60th, Diamond Anniversary Season features six North American ensembles, after a successful European series in 2017-2018. The American Chamber Players (viola, cello, clarinet, violin, flute, piano) will be making their 5th appearance in Corvallis, last here in 2004-2005.  The Mirari Brass Quintet (trumpets, horn, trombone, tuba) “brings a spirit of joyful collaboration and innovation to music spanning many centuries and genres.”  Two trios will follow in early 2019, the Neave Trio (piano, violin, cello) and the Boreal Trio (piano, viola, clarinet), separated in time by the Delgani Quartet from Eugene on a Sunday afternoon in February. The season will conclude in late April with the Diderot Quartet; ““We're a string quartet with a historical twist: we perform on instruments set-up as they were back in the Classical and early Romantic era (gut strings instead of metal + lighter bows ….).”

​The concerts will again be held Friday evenings, this season at the First Presbyterian Church, with the exception of the Delgani Quartet concert. Not only is the Delgani concert on a Sunday afternoon, it is also a FREE, bonus concert in celebration of CMC’s Diamond Anniversary.

​We hope you enjoy the season!


-Robert Verhoogen, Chair, CMC Board
