Outdoor Classical Chamber Music Concert at Camron-Stanford House in Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Please join us for an outdoor classical chamber music concert on Sunday, June 20th at 3:00pm, on the shore of Lake Merritt in Oakland, in the garden of the historic Camron-Stanford House. Sitting amidst rose bushes, in the shade of heirloom old grown trees, this outdoor lakeside concert will feature a piano quintet performing with a 1920 Steinway Piano loaned for this event by Callahan Piano Service. The Camron-Stanford House’s museum galleries and period rooms will be open for guests to visit and explore. At this time, the museum’s “Tattooed and Tenacious: Inked Women in California’s History” is on display.

The featured music will center around Antonin Dvorak’s masterpiece of chamber music, the Piano Quintet in A Major, Op. 81. The work is written on a symphonic scale, full of Dvorak’s lively folk-like dance rhythms and tuneful melodies. It is also a workout – over 40 minutes of inspired, joyous music for the 5 musicians to craft together, supporting each other as the instruments trade of solos.

Seating on the garden lawn will be provided. A limited number of reserved, front-row seats will be sold in advance via the festival’s website. Guests interested in reserving a seat should visit www.TrinityAlpsCMF.org.
