Chamber Music San Juans’ ensemble favorites are joined by internationally-acclaimed tenor Benjamin Butterfield on Saturday, September 11.
Butterfield is considered one of Canada’s most successful and sought-after artists and has performed throughout North America and Europe as well as Israel and New Zealand. The San Francisco Chronicle proclaimed Butterfield a “musically arresting presence.”
Butterfield’s operatic credits include debuts in The Barber of Seville under Carlo Rizzi at Welsh National Opera and The Magic Flute with New York City Opera. In concert he has appeared in Britten’s War Requiem with the London Symphony Orchestra and the State Orchestra of Thessaloniki. Butterfield’s wife, soprano Anne Grimm performed with CMSJ in 2007.
CMSJ Artistic Director Patricia Kostek says Butterfield’s Friday Harbor appearance will feature composter Gerald Finzi’s A Farewell to Arms, in remembrance of September 11. Other works will include Mozart’s sublime Quintet for Clarinet and Strings and works performed by ensemble members violin/viola duo Ron and Roxanna Patterson, cellist Doug Davis and bassoonist Martin Kuuskmann.
