High Desert Chamber Music’s (HDCM) 2025-26 season, presented by Washington Trust Bank and Lynch Murphy McLane LLP, will continue in November with the Central Oregon debut of Quatuor Agate. Awarded the prestigious Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) award in London and the European ECHO Rising Stars Award, this French string quartet recently concluded a tour of 23 major concert halls across 14 European countries.

This concert is brought to you by the Pine Tavern and will take place on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 7:30pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. The program features works by Mozart, Haydn and Ravel. Ticket holders may join the musicians for a concert preview at 6:45pm.

Formed in 2016, Quatuor Agate quickly earned acclaim in the international chamber music scene, distinguished by competition wins including the Best Contemporary Interpretation Prize at the Banff International String Quartet Competition (2022) and selection by YCAT London in 2021. Their commitment to both classic and contemporary repertoire – with a debut album of Brahms’ complete string quartets released in early 2024 – is matched by their performances at major festivals and concert halls across Europe, and ongoing residencies and artist-collaborations with leading figures and institutions in the musical world.

Tickets are available through HDCM online, by phone, or in person at their office in Downtown Bend. HDCM 2025-2026 title sponsors include Washington Trust Bank and Lynch Murphy McLane LLP, Pahlisch Homes, Miller Lumber, German Master Tech, Pine Tavern Restaurant, Drew Family Dentistry, Cascade School of Music, Cascade A&E, Central Oregon Daily and Newstalk KBND and 107.7 Radio.
