 Since its launch at Chamber Music Northwest in 2010, the Protégé Project has brought to Portland some of the country's most accomplished young classical musicians. Finished with their studies at the highest caliber conservatory and graduate programs, they are now winning awards at major ensemble competitions and building their careers in chamber music.
The Protégé Project has rapidly become an integral part of CMNW, attracting listeners to alternative venues all across Portland with adventurous programming and groundbreaking artistic collaborations. In addition to performing in the popular Club Series, the Protégés are mentored by veteran festival artists and also present a full schedule of free community outreach concerts. These outstanding young professionals represent the future of CMNW's rich tradition of artistic excellence.
About the Club Concerts — July 10, July 17, July 24
If you're comfortable in less conventional concert settings, check out our popular Club Series—a "test kitchen" in which Protégé artists try out new approaches to connecting with audiences, beyond the traditional formalities. Artists (and audiences!) are encouraged to be bold and creative, so come participate in this exciting laboratory featuring great chamber music, food and beverage, and fresh ideas.
Tickets are $20, and may be ordered through the CMNW Box Office online or by phone beginning May 13.
