Persephone Chamber Ensemble

Persephone Chamber Ensemble is a women’s chamber group dedicated to music that highlights the integration of both traditional and contemporary vocal and instrumental chamber music. Its members are experienced artists with national and international careers both solo and collaborative. The program will include the world premiere of Nocturnes for Mezzo-Soprano and Piano Quartet, written especially for the ensemble by esteemed Bay Area composer Elinor Armer. This highly romantic new song cycle will be coupled with Brahms’ powerfully dramatic Piano Quartet in C Minor and his heartfelt Two Songs for Voice, Viola & Piano.
