NW BachFest Winter Classics: Piano Quartet

It’s hard to put into words, but there’s just something warm about stringed instruments. Consider this year’s Northwest Bachfest winter concerts your musical down comforter. You’ve got two chances to catch this quartet — first in Coeur d’Alene on Dec. 6, and again in Spokane on Dec. 9 — which will feature cellist and Bachfest artistic director Zuill Bailey alongside violinist Benjamin Breen, pianist Awadagin Pratt and viola player Martin Sher. Both programs will feature Robert Schumann’s famed piano quartet, followed by Johannes Brahms’ third piano quartet.
