The 2022 Classical Up Close festival of FREE chamber music kicks off on April 26, 2022, at 7:00 PM PT at Rose City Park Presbyterian Church in Northeast Portland! From contemporary pieces by living composers to timeless favorites by old masters, there is something for everyone this year.

Some highlights from this year’s festival include a selection of romantic opera and musical theatre hits performed by Michael Ash, tenor, and José Ramírez Salano, baritone; a violin and percussion trio piece by local star composer Andy Akiho; and a Tchaikovsky sextet featuring the Oregon Symphony’s concert master Sarah Kwak.
