Jonathan Brown, violist of the Spanish string ensemble Cuarteto Casals, will be conducting a master class for community musicians, from 7-9PM on October 26. The class will consist of public coaching of several chamber music groups, focusing on honing rehearsal techniques and improving musical communication.

The public is invited to observe this class to gain insights on what it takes to put together an effective chamber music performance. This class takes place in collaboration with the Cleveland Chamber Music Society, with a performance by Cuarteto Casals on October 27 at the Plymouth Church in Shaker Heights.

Born in Chicago in 1974, Jonathan Brown began his musical studies at the age of four, and later began playing the viola in chamber music ensembles.  In 2002 Jonathan joined the Cuarteto Casals, with whom he has regularly appeared in the most important concert halls and festivals around the world. The quartet records exlusively for Harmonia Mundi, for whom they have recorded extensively covering a wide range of repertoire from Boccherini to Kurtág.
