Denali String Quartet To Open The 2009 Paderewski Festival
October 1, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The 2009 Paderewski Festival in Paso Robles is pleased to announce that the opening concert of this year's Festival will be held on Thursday, 12 November 2009 at 7 p.m. at Vina Robles Winery, 3700 Mill Road, Paso Robles, California. The featured performers are the Los Angeles-based Denali String Quartet, who will present a program of works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, and Johannes Brahms.
Denali Quartet members Sarah Thornblade, Joel Pargman, Alma Fernandez, and Timothy Loo have been featured year-round as artists-in-residence of Santa Monica's Jacaranda Concert Series, hailed by Alan Rich of the LA Weekly as "the right music in the right place at the right time," since its inaugural 2003 season.
For their Paso Robles concert, the Quartet will perform String Quartet No. 5, "Quarteto popular" by Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), String Quartet No. 1, "Already It Is Dusk," Op. 62, by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki (b. 1933), and the String Quartet in A minor, Op. 51 No. 2 by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897). This exciting program will take the Festival audience on a musical journey from Europe to South America.
