Named for Oregon’s state rock (who knew?), Thunder Egg Consort (violinist Anthea Kreston, violist Kenji Bunch, cellist Jason Duckles, and pianist Monica Ohuchi) performs a dazzling program in this beautiful North Plains home. Like the thunderegg, their music sparkles with vibrant colors, hidden facets, and plenty of brilliance. Prepare to be rocked by the music—and delighted by wines and appetizers that are gems in their own right.
- More About Thunder Egg Consort
-
The Thunder Egg Consort is a group of seasoned performers who bring their individual talents together as a piano quartet comprised of violin (Anthea Kreston), viola (Kenji Bunch), cello (Jason Duckles), and piano (Monica Ohuchi). These graduates of some of the finest music schools in the country (Juilliard and Curtis) have won international competitions, have been mentored by wonderful musicians such as Isaac Stern, and have performed alongside artists such as Yo Yo Ma, Mark O’Connor and Harry Connick, Jr. They have recorded for Sony and Naxos, been featured on television and radio (in residence with NPR) and are able to compose and play in a variety of styles (classical, bluegrass and contemporary.) Having forged their varied careers in the New York area, these four musicians (three of whom originally hail from the Pacific Northwest) recently had children. They then realized that it would be much nicer to live in the Northwest again, and sold their houses and moved to Oregon. Taking their name and inspiration from the state rock, they have formed a consort and are forging new ground in their reclaimed homeland.
