January 2013: Portrait of an Artist

  • Sinclair Estate Vineyard 109 East Main Street Walla Walla, WA, 99362 United States (map)

This interactive series will give the you a window into the lives and experiences of the incredibly talented artists who perform here.

The Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival is proud to unveil the new Portrait of an Artist series. About 27 different artists perform at WWCMF annually. These artists, whether composer, string player, wind player, or vocalist etc., participate in the democratic process of working within a chamber ensemble. However, individually, each musician brings a unique perspective, and a level of personal artistry that sometimes goes unheralded. The Portrait of an Artist series gives the audience the opportunity to forge connections with individual musicians.

The series debuts with a recital and conversation with violinist, Maria Sampen. A veteran of every WWCMF season to date, Maria is a violinist of supernatural abilities. She is at home playing thorny contemporary scores just as she is playing solo Bach or backing up such pop icons as Rod Stewart. For this performance, Maria will be joined by pianist, and local Walla Wallan, Kristin Vining.

This interactive series will give the audience a window into the lives and experiences of the incredibly talented artists who come to Walla Walla for the Festival. Join us at the Sinclair Estate Vineyard Tasting Room, and meet your music maker!

Artists: Maria Sampen and Kristin Vining
