(Falls Village, CT) America's oldest continuing summer chamber music festival, Music Mountain, continues their 82^nd anniversary season celebration with an unforgettable weekend of chamber music performed by the internationally acclaimed Amernet String Quartet with special guest artist Yehuda Hanani, cello, on Saturday, August 6th (6:30PM) and the highly praised all-women ensemble Colorado String Quartet with special guest artist Melvin Chen, piano. on Sunday, August 7th (3PM).  The chamber concerts are just a sampling of the 20 chamber, jazz and country groups who have performed at Gordon Hall this summer, and will continue to perform on Music Mountain’s concert stage in Falls Village thru September 4^th. (full season click here)

Enjoy a Saturday evening of Schubert with one of the most acclaimed ensembles of its generation, The Amernet String Quartet. The group will play the String Quartet in G Major, Opus 161, D. 887 and Cello Quintet in C Major, Opus 163, D. 956. Renowned cellist Yehuda Hanani will join Amernet for this special Schubert evening and concert-goers are invited to attend a free post-concert discussion: The String Quartets of Schubert.  Praised for its intelligence and ravishing sound, The Amernet String Quartet has been a major force on the chamber music scene since its inception in 1991. They regularly travel and perform all over the world, and currently serve as Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University.

Sunday afternoon brings the Colorado String Quartet to Gordon Hall with an elegant, diverse program: Haydn: String Quartet in F Major, Opus 77 #2, Mendelssohn: String Quartet F Minor, Opus 80, and Dvorak: Piano Quintet in A Major, Opus 81. Celebrated pianist Melvin Chen will join the group as guest artist. The Colorado String Quartet was the first all-women quartet to achieve international stature and is the first female quartet in history to perform the complete Beethoven Quartet cycle in Europe and North America. With a career spanning three decades, The Colorado String Quartet is committed to bringing music to audiences off all ages; the ensemble is currently Artistic Director of the Soundfest Chamber Music Festival and Quartet Institute on Cape Cod.

Located in Falls Village, Connecticut, Music Mountain is located on Music Mountain Road, where a short scenic drive will bring music lovers to Gordon Hall with ample & free parking.
