The Kootenay’s very own La Cafamore String Quartet is joined by clarinettist Nicola Everton, performing on Friday, September 28 at Christ Church Trinity in Invermere.
With a rich repertoire for clarinet and string quartet, the program features one of the great masterpieces for this combination, the romantic and evocative Brahms Clarinet Quintet. Rounding out the program, audiences will enjoy Beethoven’s Op. 18 No. 4 string quartet and the rock/jazz quintet by American Bill Douglas complete with a breakout rock vocal etude mid performance.
