Private Home in Ridgway
5:00 p.m.
Join the Ouray County Performing Arts Guild for an incredible evening of chamber music, dining, and fine wine in a gorgeous private home in Ridgway. This is a favorite tradition since 2005 held at one of the most beautiful homes in the county. After gathering for appetizers and wine, Max Levinson and the Ulysses Quartet will perform a program featuring two neglected masterpieces - Fanny Mendelssohn’s String Quartet (this is the sister of Felix Mendelssohn) and the Frank Bridge Piano Quintet - a late-Romantic gem similar to the style of Franck or Brahms - an exciting new piece for most of our listeners. Following the concert, a dinner prepared by The Secret Garden Catering will be served. It's a wonderful evening of music, food, wine, and conversation with friends and musicians alike as the sun sets behind the mountains. We hope you can join us!
