The Crown City String Quartet returns for the season finale of the 2011-2012 Season. The group has become an audience favorite since their Central Oregon debut in the High Desert Chamber Music inaugural concert in 2008. The name derives from all the members having resided in the Crown City; Pasadena, California. The members have worked together in the Motion Picture and TV recording studios, as well as many of the Los Angeles area’s most renowned music organizations for the past decade. They are regularly featured at the HDCM Series in Bend, Oregon, the Pasadena Presbyterian Church’s Music at Noon Concert Series, and the First Baptist Church of Glendale Noon Concert Series.

The group is dedicated to Educational Outreach efforts, and regularly conducts performances and Q&A sessions at a number of locations, including the Renaissance Arts Academy, as well as local Central Oregon schools. Members of the group have also contributed to coaching the Spotlight Chamber Players, a HDCM Educational Outreach program.

With a refreshing and unmistakable camaraderie that is present both on and off-stage, the group is recognized for delivering dynamic and engaging performances of standard repertoire.
