Chamber Music Amici presents Old & New

The Rooster and the Fox was a product of an ambitious collaboration between Chamber Music Amici and the talented Eugene composer and violinist Colin Pip Dixon during the COVID era. We are thrilled to present this meaningful piece for a live audience again. And of course, Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet will be a wonderful compliment to the program!
