THE DREAM TEAM:

Praised as “dazzling” (The New York Times), “expert and versatile” (The New Yorker), and “a fearless and inquisitive violinist” (San Francisco Classical Voice), Owen Dalby.

Acclaimed by critics worldwide for his exceptional talent and magnificent tone, American violinist Chad Hoopes has established himself as a versatile performer with many of the world’s leading orchestras and ensembles.

Violinist Amy Schwartz Moretti is celebrated as a deeply expressive artist in her versatile roles as soloist, chamber musician, concertmaster, and educator.

Hailed by Opus Magazine as “a stunning musician”, Livia Sohn has performed widely on the international stage as concerto soloist, recitalist, and festival guest artist.

Katie Kadarauch is an American-born, 3rd generation musician and teacher. After graduating from the Colburn School of Music in 2007, she was appointed to the San Francisco Symphony as the Assistant Principal Viola.

Maiya Papach is the principal violist of The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Papach has made frequent national and international appearances as a chamber musician, with a versatile profile in her performances of both traditional and contemporary repertoire.

Michelle Djokic is a Grammy-nominated cellist, artistic director, and arts advocate whose career spans performance, education, and creative leadership. Seattle’s SunBreak wrote of her performance with Emerald City Music: “Her sound had warmth, depth and gentleness.”

Icelandic cellist Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir enjoys a varied career as a performer, collaborator and artist teacher. Sæunn serves as artistic advisor for the Við Djúpið Music Festival in Ísafjörður, Iceland and Artistic Director of Tertulia New York City, a series that places world-class chamber music in intimate drinking, dining and art spaces.

Anthony Manzo’s vibrantly interactive music-making has made him a ubiquitous figure in the chamber music world, appearing regularly with the CMS, and at festivals including Spoleto USA, La Jolla SummerFest, Santa Fe Chamber Music, and the Bowdoin Festival.

Sand Box Sand City was so full of good vibes last night. It was a packed house in support of our dear friend Edwin Huizinga getting back out there making music where he belongs! Alina Bercu is a dream of a colleague and musician. She had everyone on their feet and wanting more. Thank you Alina and heartfelt thanks to the amazing SandBox community for your generosity of spirit and heart!

The "WolfganG" strikes again. Wednesday, March 18th @ 7PM. Led by the principal clarinetist for the SF Opera, Jose Gonzales Granero, we will hear the always inspiring Clarinet Quintet by Mozart , a small taste of Haydn, De Falla and an original work by Jose for the same instrumentation "Landscapes" Joining Jose are violinists Livia Sohn and Rubén Rengel, violist Leonid Plashinov Johnson and cellist Michelle Djokic.

These musicians will be engaging with area schoolchildren prior to the concert. In addition to sharing their extraordinary talents and music, they will demonstrate how the collaborative nature of chamber music highlights the importance of listening, cooperation, and mutual respect — values that help us all find harmony not only in music, but in life beyond the stage.
