CLASSICAL REVOLUTION Presents: THE MUSICAL ART QUINTET
Comprised of some of San Francisco’s finest young string players, The Musical Art Quintet performs a broad range of music—from classical to contemporary to world music—including pieces written or arranged by members of the Quintet. Performances often feature guest artists and incorporate electronics. Tonight’s concert will include original Latin-inspired music by Sascha Jacobsen, rock arrangements by Charith Premawardhana, and other selections from the contemporary and classical literature.
The group has performed at such Bay Area venues Revolution Cafe and Cafe du Nord.
Anthony Blea: violin
Jory Fankuchen: violin
Charith Premawardhana: viola
Shane Carrasco: cello

More than an ensemble, more than a presenting organization, Classical Revolution is a global phenomenon, revolutionizing the way live classical music is programmed and heard. The idea which took shape in November of 2006 at Revolution Cafe in San Francisco’s Mission District is now represented in more than a dozen cities on three continents. (In the Bay Area alone, they present an average of 15-20 performance events each month.) Residencies are held at Revolution Cafe, SoCha Cafe, Amnesia, Caffe Divino (Sausalito), Bazaar Cafe, and Musical Offering Cafe (Berkeley). Classical Revolution has been featured in publications including San Francisco Classical Voice, SF Weekly, SF Chronicle, Sunset Magazine, SOMA Magazine, Strings Magazine, and The New York Times.
