Parnassus Project is a collective of musicians dedicated to presenting a fresh take on the chamber music experience. We seek to create a more social atmosphere at concerts and to break down barriers between performers and audiences by performing in alternative venues and encouraging interaction. In addition to promoting local musicians, Parnassus Project also strives to present new works by local up-and-coming composers. Tonight we present a program of new works by west coast composers George N. Gianopoulos, Cole Bratcher, and Kenji Bunch, as well as modern masterpieces by John Cage, Philip Glass, and Elliott Carter.
