Prime Time: Emily Kruspe & Carissa Klopoushak
Chamberfest Artistic Director and violinist/violist Carissa Klopoushak and NACO Principal Second Violinist Emily Kruspe launch Chamberfest’s very first Prime Time concert in style. Partners in music and in life, these two exceptional artists present a carefully curated programme of duets for violin and viola by Elizabeth Raum, Mozart, and more.
Pass Prime holders are invited to enjoy this exclusive opportunity to experience world-class chamber music in an intimate, up-close setting, with chances to interact with the performers and gain personal insight into the music. Set against the elegant backdrop of the Rossy Pavilion at the National Arts Centre, this concert pairs exquisite string duets with the warmth and artistry of two of Ottawa’s finest musicians.
