Smetana: String Quartet in E minor “From My Life”

Garrison Creek Cellars provides the idyllic setting for the first Tasting Music Event of the 2010 Season. Set amid the verdant splendor of “Les Collines” vineyard, Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival musicians will perform Smetana’s String Quartet in E minor, “From My Life.” As the subtitle suggests, Smetana treated the work as a musical autobiography. Through music he paints vivid scenes of love, loss, and triumph. This Czech masterpiece of Romantic Nationalism will kick off the 2010 Series in rollicking fashion.† Garrison Creek Cellars is not generally open to the public, so this event will sell out quickly!
