This Sunday the Farallon Quintet will perform at the Seventh-day Adventist Church as part of In Concert Sierra’s performance series.  The quintet is made up of two violins, a cello, a viola, and a clarinet.  In Concert Sierra Artistic Director Ken Harden says this isn’t the first time members of the Farallon Quintet have performed in the area.

Harden says the quintet will stick around for an extra day to give a special performance to most of Nevada County’s third graders Monday morning.  They will perform some of their pieces from the day before, as well as a couple songs young students might connect with.  They’ll also talk about their instruments and ask and answer questions.
