Submitted By Adrienne Thiele Dallagiacoma
Chapel of the Chimes Mortuary and Cemetery's Spring Great Performances concert series continues with a tribute to Mother's Day. Performed by the popular Exeter String Quartet, guests will enjoy a grand selection of popular medleys from legendary composers Cole Porter, Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin and The Beatles. Members of the Exeter String Quartet are Richard Larsen, violin; Dorothy Lee, viola; Christine Macomber, violin; and Dan Glover, cello.
"The Mother's Day performance is the third in the concert series, which is presented to provide the community with an opportunity to gather and enjoy great musical performances and learn about a variety of music and composers," said Harry Blakeman, Chapel of the Chimes general manager.
The Exeter String Quartet was founded in 1983 as the result of a chance meeting at the Chamber Music Workshop in Ashland, Oregon. These residents of Oakland are avid chamber music enthusiasts and are involved with a variety of professions. Known for their love for music, their performances delight audiences as they perform their dramatic and lively interpretations of selections by beloved classical and popular composers.
The Chapel of the Chimes Great Performances concert series is free and open to the public. For more information, call (510) 471-3363.
