A quick note to let you know that we've moved some dates around on our audition and financial aid calendars for the Port Townsend Chamber Music Festival.
Once you have registered online to spend a week with the Tokyo String Quartet (you have registered, haven't you?), your scholarship deadline AND audition deadline will be April 12.
Andrew Dawes, who will be in residence at the Port Townsend Chamber Music Festival is known as one of the most distinguished violinists Canada has ever produced. As a founding member and first violinist of Canada’s renowned Orford String Quartet, he has played over 2,000 concerts in more than 25 countries and won three Juno Awards and made more than 50 recordings.
In 1992 he was awarded the Order of Canada in recognition of his contribution to the musical life of Canada. In 1994, he received the prestigious Chalmers National Music Award for creativity and excellence in the arts. He first performed at the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival in 1996 as first violinist of the Tokyo Quartet and has performed here in many concerts since then. He now teaches at the University of British Columbia and is a member of the Eden Trio.
When we redesigned this site last year, we had a vision that at some point, we could invite community members to post/write for the site, sharing their passion with other members of the Centrum community.
That time is NOW!
If you are passionate about chamber music, and would like to share your knowledge and a sense of discovery with others, we want YOU. Please contact Keven Elliff at keven at centrum dot org for more information.
