High Desert Chamber Music’s (HDCM) 17th Annual Gala will feature three new student ensembles — a string quartet, violin duo and guitar/cello duo. This annual event includes a cocktail hour & silent auction, dinner, and dessert dash and will take place at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Friday, December 6, at 6pm. Central Oregon Daily anchor Genevieve Reaume returns as this year’s Master of Ceremonies.
“Last year’s event was a record year and we work hard each season to build on our success,” states Executive Director Isabelle Senger. “We have three new groups in our Spotlight Chamber Players program and are excited to feature them that evening. As always, support from this important event allows HDCM to continue offering all our Educational Outreach programs at no cost to students, teachers, or schools in Central Oregon.”
High Desert Chamber Music’s Educational Outreach includes performances and Q&A sessions at local schools, public master classes, and the Spotlight Chamber Players chamber music training program. This year’s members, aged 13 to 17, attend local schools including Cascade Middle School, Cascades Academy, Bend Senior High School, Caldera High School, and Summit High School.
