The Spokane
String Quartet was founded in 1979 in
order to bring live, professional chamber music performances to
Inland Northwest audiences. For the past 34 years, it has been
the only
chamber ensemble to present a regular concert series including music
from the standard string quartet repertoire, contemporary works,
premieres by
local composers and music from the Moldenhauer Archives. The Quartet’s regular concert
series takes
place at the newly
renovated Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox, 1001 W. Sprague Ave. in downtown Spokane, and in the beautiful and intimate atmosphere of the Bing Crosby
Theater, 901 W. Sprague Ave.
The Spokane Chamber Music Association, incorporated in 1983,
is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support and promote the musical
and educational
activities of the Spokane String Quartet. In 1998 the SCMA developed an educational
outreach program which includes visiting area secondary schools and youth musical
organizations, explaining the concerts and offering free and reduced-price
tickets to area music students and their families. In addition, local student
ensembles
are invited to perform in the Met lobby prior to the Spokane String Quartet’s
regular performances, giving these students much-appreciated performance opportunities.
Groups which have appeared in this format include string quartets from the Spokane
Youth Orchestra, Ferris High School, Eastern Washington University, and Coeur
d’Alene.
We invite you to
join us in the fall for the Spokane String Quartet’s 2013-14 season
- great music, beautifully performed, in an exquisite setting -
a sure antidote to the stresses of the day!
