Hello Folks!

We’re coming up on our excellent Salem Viola Day at Willamette University from 1-4pm.

There will be luthiers, demos, a masterclass and more!

Save the date and email Miriam if you’d like to play in the class. Plan to participate in the play-in, and bring all your violist friends!

Looking forward to seeing all our Southern viola comrades!

We'll even have snacks!

Thanks to all who came to the Play-In this afternoon- it was a lot of fun. Fruit, cheese, tea, chamber music- it was just about perfect!

Mattie, Dorianne, Chris and Miriam

Oh, you guys!

We have a really great thing coming up on Friday, October 17th at Lewis & Clark College.

We had planned on having the Unbande present a concert for us, but that has been put on hold. You can still check them out on CD Baby, though! Especially recommended is their sweet version of Brandenburg 6.

But we got something really great to take their place: PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT!

These guys have agreed to come play for us, and to give a workshop/demo on various cross-genre topics. They’ll bring some electronic gadgets and are down with a demo-heavy Q&A session. If you’ve ever had an interest in arranging works for your instrument, in playing pop, rock or jazz, in getting a group of your-favorite-instrument together to do something artistically worthwhile, in becoming the number one seller on Amazon classical… well, that last one they may not be able to pass along but we can all congratulate them anyway.

So, as always, bring your viola and your violist friends. In fact this time around, all instruments are welcome!

Check out PCP online and come back here for updates soon.
