and this year’s program featuring Mendelssohn’s
Quartet Op. 44, No.1 and short works of Dvorak and Suk promises
no less.

Cypress made a deep and pure connection to the music in
playing of unfailing grace. Alert, disciplined, open to

Berkeley Chamber Performances proudly welcomes back the

our first in several years. A sold-out, overflow audience
enjoyed the charming sophistication of Odile and Co. a number
of years ago when they performed for us at short notice.
We are extremely excited that these chic and polished purveyors
of Parisian Café music from the early part of the
20th century are returning to be featured on our special
Parisian-inspired fundraiser event. Audience members will
sit at tables furnished with wine, cheese, fruit, and of
course, baguettes, as they are stylishly entertained for
a good cause.
$20
of the price of each ticket is tax deductible. Help support
BCP, and have a great time, too!
