Updated Jan 06, 2021;
Winter tends to be a slow time in entertainment options, even during a “normal” year. But 2021 doesn’t want to leave you hanging. So we’ve come up with some streaming options for various types of music, and an in-person art show featuring a Portland favorite.

Takács Quartet
The Friends of Chamber Music present the first string quartet inducted into the Gramophone Hall of Fame in 2012 and the first string quartet to win the Wigmore Hall Medal in 2014. The Takács Quartet is known for the vitality of its interpretations. BBC Music Magazine said the 2019 Christmas recording “gives a superbly committed reading” of Dohnányi’s First Piano Quintet in C minor, “which maximizes the music’s textural and dynamic variety.”
