Crowden alum and violinist Owen Dalby (Class of ’98) returns as our Artist-in-Residence this year, bringing home the breadth of a career devoted to chamber music. As Co-Artistic and Executive Director of Noe Music and a member of Stanford University’s chamber music faculty, Owen has shaped a Crowden Presents season featuring composer-performers, genre-spanning ensembles, and music both new and familiar. Together, these five concerts invite our community to listen closely-and to one another.
"We are excited to welcome Owen back to lead our flagship performance series. His artistic vision for Crowden Presents brings an extraordinary knowledge of the Crowden history, chamber music’s past, and importantly chamber music’s future."
