DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Performing in Ogunquit for the first time ever\, Zahili Zamora and her Afro Cuban Jazz Trio promise a unique and unparalleled jazz experience.  Ms Zamora and her Trio have  headlined such venues as the landmark Scullers Jazz Club in Boston\, the Monterey Jazz Festival\, the Celebrity Series of Boston\, the Montreal International Jazz Festival\, and many more. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Her awards include: the Duke Ellington Award\, the Wayne Shorter Award\, the 40th Annual DownBeat music Award in the Outstanding Performance Category\, Finalist at the DC Jazz Prix Competition\, and with her Trio MIXCLA\, a two time nominee for the Boston Music Awards in the Jazz Group category. \nA pianist\, composer\, bandleader\, arranger and educator\, Ms Zamora started playing piano at the age of six\, in her birthplace of Manzanillo\, Cuba\, where she graduated from the National School of Music\, as a classical pianist\, with a performance diploma. Emigrating to Canada\, she explored a wide range of musical genres such as traditional Ecuadorian\, French\, and South African\, and then to Asia for 6 years\, where she even performed with a pop band. \nDiscovering Jazz\, she returned to school in the U.S. to study at the Berklee College of Music\, immersing herself in the study and analysis of jazz performance and composition\, and falling in love with the process of creating. She graduated summa cum laude with a dual MM degree in Jazz Composition and Jazz Piano Performance. She currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Piano Department. \nThis rich musical background\, career experience and extraordinary improvisation skills\, render her a leader in the modern jazz idiom and an influential and emulated musician. \nShe describes the evolution of her artistic identity as a Latin Jazz pianist\, singer\, bandleader and composer\, through reconnecting with her Cuban roots\, and using elements of her rhythmic idiosyncrasy with American jazz\, while adding and developing skills to encompass her artistry. She describes her music as representing multiculturalism and global unity in these times when there is so much division and oppression. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tributes from musical colleagues and journalists include: \n“…[Zahili] is amongst the most notable female pianists/composers in the field of Latin Jazz today\, and her skills as an improviser are unmatched.”  Oscar Stagnaro \n“In addition to explorations of Habanera-steeped rhythms and textures and flourishes of American big band tradition\, Zamora incorporates spacious and lovely melodies that soar beyond any descriptives..  Rick Koster\, The Day \n“A brilliant classically-trained improviser who is a master of polyrhythms\, she is also a very appealing and versatile singer.”  Scott Yannow\, Jazz Journalist \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Please join us to experience this enormous talent\, in an Ogunquit premiere performance.

SUMMARY:BOSTON CHAMBER MUSIC STRING QUARTET
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				In recent years\, OPA’s Chamber Music Festival has featured an on-going partnership with Boston Chamber Music\, which every year puts together a special ensemble for the Ogunquit concerts\, unique to OPA. \nThe players this year include  Omar Chen  Guey\, violin\, Peter Sulski\, violin\, Noriko Futagami\, viola\, and David Russell\, cello – three of whom have played for OPA before\, with Ms. Futagami making her Ogunquit debut. \nThe Program:\nBoston Chamber Music’s  program this year will feature Haydn’s String Quartet No. 63 in B♭major\, Op. 76\, No. 4\, (the Sunrise Quartet)\, a piece which evokes the rising of the sun and the stirring awakening of nature.  It was selected by Boston Chamber Music as  a fitting tribute to the Marginal Way Centennial\, which this year marks 100 years since the deed of gift of the scenic cliff walk to the town of Ogunquit by Josiah Chase. \nThe Haydn quartet is nicknamed “Sunrise” due to the rising theme over sustained chords that begins the quartet\, and is perhaps the most magical in all Haydn.  Featuring rising themes throughout\, it combines earthiness with sophisticated development\, blending  Hungarian or Balkan folk music with the composer’s natural elegance. \nBCM’s program will also include Mozart’s Quartet in Eb Major\, K. 171 (the Viennese).  Written in 1773\, the quartet represents a considerable advance from Mozart’s previous works and reflects the influence of Haydn. \nCrisantemi    (Chrysanthemums)\, a haunting lovely elegy written by Giacomo Puccini in 1890 in tribute to the late Amadeo I of Spain.  Puccini later incorporated the beautiful\, tragic melodies of this short piece into his first successful opera\, Manon Lescaut.  \nMendelssohn’s Quartet in Eb Major\, Op. 12 concludes the program.  This masterfully composed quartet of 1829\, while still echoing the influence of Beethoven\, features stylistic and lyrical departures from that influence as Mendelssohn continued to develop as a composer. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Players:  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n						Violinist Omar Chen Guey\n						Violinist Omar Chen Guey has performed as soloist\, in recitals and chamber concerts throughout his native Brazil\, the US\, Europe\, Asia and Africa.  He is a prizewinner at both Tibor Varga and Lipizer International Violin Competitions.  A faculty member of Dartmouth College\, he is the assistant concertmaster of the Rhode Island Philharmonic\, a member of the Boston Ballet and the New England Camerata Trio. \n					\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n						Violist Noriko Futagami\n						Violist Noriko Futagami performs with some of the area’s most celebrated ensembles.  She is a member of the Radius Ensemble\,  as well as working with the Boston Musica Viva\, Emmanuel Music\, Cantata Singers\, and Winsor Music on a regular basis.  She holds permanent positions in the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and Rhode Island Philharmonic\, and is principal violist for Albany Symphony. \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n						Violinist Peter Sulski\n						Violinist Peter Sulski was a member of the London Symphony Orchestra for seven years.
