Bend Pops Orchestra held its first special chamber music concert on Wednesday, December 6, at the Larkspur Community Center in Bend, Or. Three small ensembles entertained the audience with holiday selections. Performing were our string quartet, with players Chris Moody and Lexi Gross on violin, Maggie McHugh on viola, and Chetty McClean on cello. Next up was a “flute trio”, with flutists Linda Fern and Jan Reeves, along with “honorary flutist” Chris Moody on violin. Rounding out the evening was a woodwind trio with Steven Arrasmith on bassoon, Lisa Hakesley on flute, and Misha Potuzak on clarinet.
The concert was free and open to all ages. This concert was the first of its kind (chamber groups only instead of full orchestra), and we hope to repeat our small ensemble holiday concert next season!
