Intersection is a unique offering in the 2022/23 Chamber @ Ravenscroft series, a crossover event featuring both jazz and classical selections. In addition to a major chamber work by Ravel, the program will include selections that blend jazz and classical approaches, as the string quartet and piano trio intersect in exciting and surprising ways.

Intersection will be performed without an intermission. Following the performance, there will be a wine & cheese reception (approx. 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.) Snacks will be complimentary for concert attendees; wine will be available for separate purchase at the Jazzbird bar.

Additionally, pianist Russell Schmidt will be leading a combo of Valley Jazz Cooperative students and alums in performance on the Jazzbird stage, providing great atmosphere for the “after party”.
