What we’re about
Do you love classical music concerts? Do you get fascinated by symphonies and operas? Or, are you a fan of intimately appealing chamber music? Would you like to discuss about a particular interpretation, share your own experience as a listener or a performer, or put forward your own musical thoughts? Here we are, looking forward to build an active community of friends connected by the love for music. Throughout the year we have an exciting schedule of numerous classical music offerings in the Puget Sound and neighboring areas - ranging from big concerts to little humble recitals. Many of these events go unnoticed from the large audience due to lack of publicity. Yet most of them are as exotic as it could be. Through this community we wish to launch into a treasure hunt for these secret gems. Share the news and recommendations for upcoming performances so that we can make plans to attend. Be it the Baroque, Classical, Romantic or Contemporary - whatever is the style, we are up for it. This is your chance to enjoy the essence of classical music in a fun, casual and spirited atmosphere with a group of like-minded people. All we need is a music lover like you! Please note that all members are require to purchase their own tickets unless otherwise noted.
Featured event
String Quartets: Beethoven, Dvorak, and Bacewicz (Fri 12/5)
Hello,
Emerald City Music has generously given us a 30% discount code to use! MeetupAeolus
Hope you can join us for a fun evening of string quartet music with the Aelous Quartet. They are a great young string quartet known for an excellent sound and quickly gaining a lot of momentum, and were quartet in residence in Juilliard just a few years ago and in Music Vivo now.
The first work on the program is Beethoven's first string quartet, which is a rambunctious and fun early piece by him. Following is a work by one of my favorite composers Grażyna Bacewicz, which is a fun piece packed with excellent virtuosic writing. This piece is one of the turning points in her career and was written in response to the Warsaw Uprising in the 40's. Musically it has a little bit of everything from passionate lines, thorny material, to fun romps. Her compositions are some of the most undersung works of the 20th century and a rarity to hear live, so I hope you'll come out for it!
The final work on the program is Dvorak's 13th string quartet, which was written in his period of using folk music to inspire his compositions. The second movement in particular is one of my favorite slow movements in all of string quartet repertoire.
For those who haven't been, ECM is excellent music in a much more casual/friendly setting. We will plan to meet up before the performance and during intermission in the main lobby - I'll be there starting 60 minutes prior (7:00pm).

Seattle Symphony: Rachmaninov and Bernstein (Sat 1/10)
Benaroya Hall, 200 University St, Seattle, WA, USHello All,
If you are able, please join us for a performance by the Seattle Symphony and the great conductor Alevtina Ioffe. Some of you many remember her firey debut with the Seattle Symphony recently, she is one of the great conductors touring right now.
This performance begins with the tender intermezzo from Samuel Barber's opera Vanessa. It is one of these swooning works you don't typically get to hear. After is a philosophical work by Leonard Bernstein based on Plato's Symposium. Guest violinist Vadim Gluzman, who has one of the richest sounds on violin will be playing it.
After intermission is Rachmaninov's 3rd Symphony, which is one of the great symphonic works of the 20th century and like all Rachaminov filled with haunting emotion.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
