Crowden continues its 40th anniversary season on Sunday, November 12, presenting acclaimed cellist Jay Campbell—an Oakland native and an alum of the Crowden School—with Eric Zivian, pianoforte, in an all-Beethoven program.
A global phenomenon who is the only musician ever to receive two Avery Fisher Career Grants —as a soloist, and again as a member of the JACK Quartet—Crowden alum cellist Jay Campbell’s performances have been called “electrifying” (New York Times) and “gentle, poignant, and deeply moving” (Washington Post). He will be joined by local favorite Eric Zivian (Left Coast Ensemble, Valley of the Moon Festival) playing a historic pianoforte, performing three Beethoven sonatas and 7 Variations on “Bei Mannern, welche Liebe Fuhlen.”
General admission tickets are $35, with discounted rates for seniors and students, and a free “Meet-the-Artists” reception. Children 8 to 18 can attend free of charge.
