The acclaimed Portland-based, musician-led chamber orchestra returns to Screen Door as ensemble in residence. Responding to the collective vision that established Bay Chamber’s new home, their program features pieces beloved by the ensemble. 

Palaver Strings has distinguished itself with their sense of musical adventure and eagerness to engage with music and collaborators from many different genres and traditions. Their program features Kevin Puts’ Oboe Concerto, with soloist, James Austin Smith, one of the finest musicians of his generation. Pulitzer Prize-winning Kevin Puts has gained international acclaim for his “plush, propulsive” music (The New York Times). His opera based on The Hours played recently to enourmous acclaim at the Metropolitan Opera House. 

A gorgeous program of transporting music performed by an ensemble whose concerts never fail to thrill and surprise.
