San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music Chamber Music Series: The Ariel Quartet

In the fall of 2011, the Ariel Quartet celebrated twenty-five years as resident ensemble of the Chamber Music Society of Sacramento. Since 1987 they have delighted audiences with monthly concerts in Sacramento and Davis, and made many guest appearances all over California and neighboring states. They have consistently received the highest level grants from Chamber Music America, Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Council, and the Carol Buck Foundation, based on excellence of performance, programming, and community outreach. The Ariel Quartet is an affiliate artist group with the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music , and for the past two years have operated Music by the Sea, a successful youth chamber music camp at Asilomar, in beautiful Pacific Grove, with performances in the historic Butterfly Church.. For more information about the resident and guest artists and the current season, including a gala concert featuring world-renowned pianist Jon Nakamatsu, please visit cmssacto.org
