Classical Revolution PDX & Pedalpalooza Bicycle Symphony
June 24, 2009
Imagine a revolution in chamber music, performed anywhere and everywhere. Classical Revolution PDX performs chamber music in non-traditional venues like bars and cafes, making it accessible to everyone. By taking chamber music out of the recital hall, Classical Revolution PDX strives to show the public that this music is relevant and can be enjoyed by all.
The revolution starts with the PDX BIKER SYMPHONY, part of Pedalpalooza, at South Park Blocks, SW Park Ave and SW College St (gather at the southern end of the South Park Blocks). The procession will travel down the South Park Blocks starting at 4:00 p.m. and move on to South Waterfront, where they will “rock” chamber music style. Musicians who want to join in are encouraged to bring their classical instruments. Representatives from the Community Cycling Center will be on hand to provide information about their year-round bicycle service and support programs for low-income youth and adults.
Beer and pizza will be provided by Hopworks Urban Brewery and HOTLIPS Pizza.

I greatly enjoyed your concert at South Waterfront on June 24.
I searched your web page to find the names of the compositions performed on that day. I saw this statement in several places “I went to a show and heard a piece I loved, but can’t remember the name of it. What was that piece?”, but the actual information was nowhere to be found. Very disappointing!
