Berkeley Chamber Performances launches its 2019-2020 concert series on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 with the Stenberg|Cahill Duo, featuring Kate Stenberg, violin and Sarah Cahill, piano.

Formed in 2016, the Stenberg|Cahill Duo is dedicated to promoting the American experimental tradition and expanding it through the commissioning of new work. “Contemporary music fans are fortunate to have this simultaneously authoritative and approachable pair, which is committed to promoting and expanding experimental new music,” (SF Classical Voice.) Kate Stenberg is a leading interpreter of contemporary chamber music, having premiered over a hundred works worldwide, including pieces incorporating multi-media and improvisation. Stenberg’s violin playing has been described as “highly virtuosic and deeply communicative …full of character and presence” (NewMusicBox), Sarah Cahill, recently called “a brilliant and charismatic advocate for modern and contemporary composers” by the Chicago Tribune, has commissioned, premiered, and recorded numerous compositions for solo piano.

Berkeley Chamber Performances, founded in 1993, is committed to presenting intimate chamber music concerts to the East Bay community. They program a diverse range of musical styles over the course of their season of five concerts which feature established and emerging musical ensembles.
