Chamber Orchestra
The University Club became a small concert hall for an intimate evening of music by the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra (SBCO). Actually, it was a perfect venue because historically chamber music was played in smaller spaces. Or as maestro Heiichiro Ohyama said, “We don’t have to ‘shout’ at the audience as we do in an auditorium. We can really whisper with our instruments.” The maestro also played the viola along with Sooah Kim and Carrie Kennedy on violins, Colleen Sugata on viola, and Paula Fehrenbach on cello. They played Mendelssohn’s String Quintet No. 2 Op. 87, which he wrote while ill at age 36 in 1845. He was inspired in part by Beethoven’s early quartets and wrote this in a symphonic style. Interestingly, Heiichiro’s viola was made in 1771, before this music was even written.
