Music in the Museum
Candide String Quartet
Mozart, Mendelssohn & Bernstein
Saturday, September 12th at 6:00 p.m.
Presented in Association with the Ladies Musical Club of Seattle
Formed in 2023, the Candide Quartet is violinists Chili Ekman and Henry Rogers, cellist Vanny Hu and violist Amelia Krinke.
They recently won first prize at the 2026 Frances Walton Chamber Competition presented by the Ladies Musical Club of Seattle, as well as being finalists of the 2026 Chesapeake Chamber Music Competition and semi-finalists of the 2026 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. Having a shared love for Voltaire’s Candide and its philosophies, the group embodies the camaraderie and dedication which exemplify string quartet playing.
This concert will include Mozart’s String Quartet in B-flat Major (the Hunt), Mendelssohn’s String Quartet No. 6 in f minor and Leonard Bernstein’s Overture to “Candide.”
Our concerts are about one-hour in length starting at 6 PM, leaving you time to dine out after and make a lovely evening of it! Your concert ticket includes admission to all the museum galleries so make sure you come early to see our current exhibits. Doors to the museum open at 5:15 p.m. for early viewing.
This is a unique opportunity to enjoy leading classical performers up close, in our intimate gallery setting surrounded by beautiful art from the Northwest – the way chamber music was meant to be experienced!
Seating is limited and these concerts often sell-out, so please we suggest reserving your seats well in advance.
