Description

$20 if purchased with three or more of the Villa Chamber Music Series. Available through the Montalvo Box Office only.

The Cypress String Quartet returns to Montalvo for its popular Salon Series. As part of the overall Villa Chamber Music Series, the Cypress present one of the most unique concert formats.

The quartet contextualizes the featured piece through musical examples, discussion and performances of additional single movements or short works.
