Protégé Project Club Concert II Sold out
 On this year's Protégé Project roster is composer Katerina Kramarchuk. If the name sounds familiar, we're not surprised. Born in Moldova in 1988, Katerina was raised in Hillsboro, and performed in Portland's popular "Ten Grands." Now a student at Curtis, her music reveals both a classical and jazz influence—three of her pieces are performed tonight by the Amphion Quartet, Gloria Chien, festival artists David Shifrin and Julie Feves, and Katerina herself. |

Joined by CMNW artistic director David Shifrin and two Protégé musicians, Julie offers a tribute to the role that music played in her mother's life, with a program that celebrates musical generations. |
