Horszowski Trio - Monday October 21, 2024

With performances described as “lithe, persuasive” (The New York Times). “eloquent and enthralling” (The Boston Globe), and labeled “the most compelling American group to come on the scene” (The New Yorker), Horszowski Trio (piano, violin and cello) brings their thrilling artistry to our concert series.

Jeff LaDeur and Friends - Monday November 18, 2024

Jeffrey LaDeur, pianist, is known for his rare blend of insight, spontaneity, and approachable, communicative stage presence. Clic Musique Magazine (France) has lauded “…an irreproachable legato, a beautiful palette of nuances, and an always well-balanced sound.” Together with two other players, they present a program of solos and duos.

Cantata Collective - Monday February 17, 2025

There is a long tradition of ensembles specializing in performing the Bach Cantatas; the Bay Area is very lucky to possess one of the best. Cantata Collective is "A group of local early-music luminaries devoted to the composer's 200-plus compositions in the genre" (San Francisco Chronicle). In addition to a quartet of professional singers, the instrumentalists are: Marc Schachman, oboe; Kati Kyme, violin; Lisa Weiss, violin; Anthony Martin, violin and viola; William Skeen, cello; and Kristin Zoernig, bass.

Telegraph Quartet - Monday March 17, 2025

Always a favorite with the Rossmoor audi- ence, the Telegraph Quartet is celebrating its 11th season in 2025. The quartet (Eric Chin and Joseph Maile, violins; Pei-Ling Lin, viola; Jeremiah Shaw, cello) formed in 2013 with an equal passion for the standard chamber mu- sic repertoire and contemporary, non-standard works alike. Described by the San Fran- cisco Chronicle as “…an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape” and “powerfully adept… with a combination of brilliance and subtlety,” the Telegraph Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.

The Next Generation - Monday April 21, 2025

This will be the fourth season that RCMS is presenting this ever-popular program featuring local high school and college students. Next Generation players have come from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the Young Chamber Musicians program, and the Junior Bach Festival.
