MENDOCINO, Calif. – Fort Bragg Center for the Arts presents the The Farallon Quintet, on Sunday Oct. 19.

The concert will begin at 3 p.m. in Preston Hall, 44831 Main St. in Mendocino.
 
This dynamic Bay Area ensemble is the only professional chamber music group focused exclusively on the clarinet quintet – string quartet plus clarinet – repertoire. 

The ensemble is made up of Bay Area musicians who are principal players in such orchestras as the San Francisco Ballet, Santa Rosa Symphony, Marin Symphony and the Sacramento Philharmonic.

The group takes its name from the Farallon Islands, located off the coast of San Francisco. They represent the group’s inspiration, which is founded in the simplicity and beauty of nature.

They will be joined by pianist Tanya Gabrielian, who gave a stunning recital in the FBCA series two years ago. 

Their varied program includes a work for viola by Benjamin Britten, The Ravel String Quartet, the Sextet by Aaron Copeland and Overture on Hebrew Themes by Prokofiev. Tickets are at Fiddles and Cameras, and Harvest Market in Fort Bragg, and Out of This World, Mendocino.
