    The Cypress String Quartet returns to Montalvo for its popular Salon Series. As part of the overall Villa Chamber Music Series, this group presents one of the most unique concert formats. Rather than a traditional classical chamber music concert of three works with an intermission, the Quartet features one work that the group discusses in depth and performs.

    The Cypress String Quartet contextualizes the featured piece through musical examples, discussion and performances of additional single movements or short works. It follows this explanation with a performance of the featured piece in its entirety. During the performance, the audience has the opportunity to develop an intimate relationship with the featured music as well as with the performers through the explanations. Past audience members have commented that it is a unique concert experience that demystifies classical music and offers insight into the creative process.

    Today's musical selection, the Elena Ruehr Quartet, was based on the novel Bel Canto by Ann Patchett.
