Simple Measures - The Next Stop

Seattle's Simple Measures classical chamber music group rides the Seattle Street Car.

Simple Measures offers a new kind of concert-going experience. We produce themed, high quality chamber performances with audience interaction, in intimate, informal neighborhood locales. Our goal? To make you fall in love with chamber music--or remind you why you love it--by presenting it in fresh new ways. We at Simple Measures believe that a house concert feel, complete with up close interactions with the musicians, is the easiest path to enjoying the pleasures of classical music. So, come! Try us out. It's different, it's a new way to experience chamber music, and we think you'll like what you hear. Rajan Krishnaswami Founder and Artistic Director Simple Measures

@Rudreax Trio is part of Dohnanyi Serenade. Julie-O is right for the solo.

Oh my gosh, this is so awesome! Why don't people do this more often? So cool, seriously, I'd got to Seattle way more often, just to see this, and are you kidding? Of course I'd ride public transportation more often!

I really wish tons more of this was done all over the place by different musicians to get the public to possibly begin to re-appreciate real art and talent in our world, which has been overshadowed almost completely by most of the forgettable, repetitive and meaningless 'music' we hear on the radio nowadays.

Very nice. String Quartet in a street car. Who woulda thunk it lol. My only issues is some of the music brought about bad memories from form and analysis *shudders*

Sting Quartet!!!!
