Chamber Music Ensemble

For many people, the phrase "chamber music" conjures up a concrete set of mental images, probably including string quartets, spring weddings, and Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons."

One local ensemble, however, stretches the term far beyond these narrow stereotypes, highlighting modern, exciting chamber music. The Coyote Consort presents its annual concert, entitled "Voices, Visions," this Saturday at Crowder Hall.

"Our motto is 'Coyote Consort - expect the unexpected,'" Mark Rush, associate professor of violin at the University of Arizona's School of Music, said. "We try to present innovative and challenging concerts that aren't in the typical format for classical music."
