What’s nest from Thunder Egg Consort?
Neskowin Chamber Music is bringing the thunder this weekend, with the final of two free concerts and the second performance of its regular season.
Members of Thunder Egg Consort and family will perform at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Saturday, Nov. 15. The full consort will the perform on Sunday, Nov. 16, at the Chapel of Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp in Neskowin.
Thunder Egg Consort is a group of seasoned performers who bring their individual talents together as a quartet composed of violin, viola, cello and piano. These graduates of some of the finest music schools in the country, including Juilliard and Curtis, have won international competitions, have been mentored by musicians such as Isaac Stern and have performed alongside artists such as Yo Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor and Harry Connick, Jr. They have recorded for Sony and Naxos, been featured on television and radio and are able to compose and play classical, bluegrass and contemporary music. Having forged their varied careers in Europe and the New York area, these four musicians, three of whom originally hail from the Northwest, recently had children. They then realized that it would be much nicer to live in the Northwest again and sold their homes and moved to Oregon. Taking their name and in from the state rock, they have formed a consort and are forging new ground in their reclaimed homeland.
At Saturday’s free concert, three of the four adults and their kids, aged 11 and 15, will perform classical trios and duos and bluegrass.
Saturday’s concert begins at 3 pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, located at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org or call 541-994-9994.
The second program will include “Hard Winter/Holler and Stomp” for violin, viola, cello and piano, “Suite in a Jazz Style” for viola and piano by D.Tabakova and Hungarian Folk Melodies for violin and cello.
Sunday’s concert begins at 3 pm at Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp, located at 5195 Winema Road in Neskowin. Tickets are $40 for adults and $10 for children. For more information, go to neskowinchambermusic.com.
