Ernest Bloch: The Man and His Music
Swiss-born composer Ernest Bloch was first and foremost known around the world for his music, blending a variety of musical influences, including Jewish, Swiss, and Native American. In later years, Bloch lived on the Oregon coast, and was inspired by its natural beauty. Bloch’s works are still being performed to this day. Bloch was well known for his music, but people may not know that he was also an avid amateur photographer. The program features Bloch music for string quartet, his words, and photography.

Third Angle. It’s anything but ordinary.
Portland-based Third Angle New Music pushes the boundaries of the expected with the creation and performance of contemporary musical events, works and collaborations. It’s an opportunity to rethink the conditions of the performance itself. Being new music, you never know what is going to happen next.
Third Angle New Music String Quartet has received rave reviews for its performances of contemporary music. Following its recent tour of China, the quartet performed the epic four-hour String Quartet No. 2 by Morton Feldman and received the following accolade from Asymmetry Music Magazine on Feb, 2012, "I cannot imagine it (Feldman String Quartet No. 2) played any more beautifully or perfectly than Third Angle played. it. Rich tone, perfect intonation, razor-sharp ensemble, and a palpable love for this lovely music. No praise can be too high for this performance."
