CMNW Protégé Project in the news

by Rebekah Phillips, CMNW staff

If you're new to our blog, you may not have noticed that in addition to our posts by guest bloggers, we've also gathered links to Protégé Project press in the right-hand column. Articles are posted in chronological order, with the most recent at the top.

Be sure to read Barry Johnson's latest blog post, "Chamber Music Northwest goes clubbing," in which he goes behind the scenes of the Protégé Project to create a detailed synopsis of the program overall. With interviews with David Shifrin, tons of background information, artists' perspectives, plus observations of the Protégés in rehearsal, coaching and performance, Barry's piece is thorough and complete, and should clear up remaining audience uncertainties about the nature of this new program.

As always, we invite you to comment on all our blog posts, and hope to see you this Sunday, 7/11, at the Someday Lounge (125 NW 5th) for the Sospiro Winds at 5. And if you missed last night's concert of Protégés alongside Jennifer Frautschi, Philip Setzer, Paul Neubauer, Anna Polonksy, Fred Sherry and other festival veterans, I recommend you RUN, not walk, to the Gerding for tonight's repeat performance! Because if you saw it, you're probably beginning to understand how "CMNW Protégé" is really just another term for "chamber music rock star."
