Garden Party: Garden Strings on Sauvie Island!

Spend a summer night surrounded by music and nature at this uniquely delightful Garden Party on Friday, July 18, featuring a spontaneous and spirited sight-reading session by an all-star string quartet formed especially for this occasion. Violinists Soovin Kim and Isabelle Ai Durrenberger, violist Jonathan Vinocour, and cellist Paul Watkins—all acclaimed performers on international stages—come together for an impromptu evening of chamber music, choosing pieces on the spot and discovering them in real time before your eyes (and ears). It’s chamber music at its most alive, intimate, and unrehearsed—just as it’s been enjoyed for centuries among friends.
