"Arcturus Quintet is a new star in the chamber music universe. Created in 2018 as a part of the 45th Parallel Universe expansion, Arcturus features five musicians from the Oregon Symphony who just freakin' love chamber music. Arcturus wants to play it all – standard quintet repertoire, new works by our friends and colleagues, arrangements of Disney tunes for kids – and allow audiences to hear the beauty of this mismatched ensemble."
