Viva La Juerga

The Eureka Chamber Music Series has completed its season, but they’re having one more benefit concert Sunday afternoon at Calvary Lutheran. This one features local talent including The Meadowood String Quartet, pianist Christina Cho, a barbershop quartet from the Harmonaires, Calvary Connection (from the church choir) and young violinist Otis Harriel, a student of Rob Diggins who recently won a Harmonaires scholarship.

“It’s not American Idol by any means,” says ECMS’ Pearl Micheli, who will play that night too. “We’ll have musicians from age 5 and up. Everyone is just having fun making music.”

And isn’t that what it’s all about?
