‘Afternoon of Chamber Music’ returns Sunday

Back by demand, the Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association presents Chill 2, a second annual concert of chamber music, at 2 p.m. on Jan. 12 at Hood River Valley Christian Church, 975 Indian Creek Road.
Artistic Director Mark Steighner describes the performance as “an intimate, casual and enjoyable celebration of small-scale music, performed by CGOA musicians and guests.”
Included on the program will be piano and cello duets, piano and violin duets, art songs, the Canticum vocal ensemble and Europatopia, a gypsy klezmer band led by Joel Kabokov.
A string quartet made up of CGOA musicians all playing instruments that are not their “regular” instrument will also be featured. Last year’s chamber music concert was a sell out.
Chill 2 is part of a busy winter season that also includes The Gorge Sings! (Again) in February as well as a special February performance by the Sinfonietta with Dr. Erik Steighner from Pacific Lutheran University as soloist, said a CGOA press release.
The first-ever Gorge performance of the classic musical West Side Story opens March 6.
The Chill 2 Chamber Music Concert is free, with donations accepted.
More information about CGOA events can be found at gorgeorchestra.org.
