| The Chamber Music Series
at the University of Oregon began its first season in the Fall of 1967.
Edmund Cykler was the founder and nurtured the vision and development
of presenting world class artists of this art form for 21 years. This
Series is still the only music series in Lane County devoted exclusively
to chamber music performed by internationally-acclaimed artists.
The first seasons included
the Tokyo Quartet who later became one of the premier string quartets
on the international music scene. Some of the most outstanding chamber
ensembles for more than 30 years have appeared in exquisite Beall Concert
Hall which is one of the outstanding concert halls in the country. Its
acoustical clarity and warm inviting interior have been the perfect
marriage for this music and has overwhelmingly contributed to the success
of the Chamber Series.
