I’ve played a lot of chamber music in my lifetime, but I have to admit I usually don’t go out of my way to attend performances. Like the masses, I get attracted to the the large scale, full emotional experiences and forget to seek out the beauty in the simpler quartets, trios, quintets. Seattle’s Simple Measures chamber music group is on a mission to reacquaint and introduce people to this classical repertory with interactive performances in informal settings. They play in coffee shops, community centers, and in street cars. The audience, sitting up close and clustered around the musicians, can ask questions and give feedback. It’s the brainchild of cellist Rajan Krishnaswami who is, in essence, bringing chamber music back into the intimate settings it was created for.
