OCP QUARTET
of the

OREGON CHAMBER PLAYERS

Victoria Racz, oboe & English horn
Timoteus Racz, violin
Bev Gibson, viola
Collin Heade, cello


   
The OCP QUARTET was formed by members of the OREGON CHAMBER PLAYERS in 2002 out of necessity after countless requests from people wanting a string quartet to play at concerts, weddings, corporate parties and other special events. This quartet differs from a standard string ensemble with violin, viola, cello and OBOE for an infusion of color and elegance.

We’ve performed outdoor weddings in flower-strewn fields and gardens, a candle-lit ceremony in Portland’s Governor Hotel and wedding receptions at country clubs, private homes, and even a private party at Portland’s Center for the Performing Arts.

 Let us help you make your event special – work with reliable professionals who love sharing your celebrations with you!

 For booking details or other information about the OCP QUARTET of the OREGON CHAMBER PLAYERS, please call Victoria toll-free at:

Your amazing music made the entire ceremony even more memorable, from beginning to end.  We appreciate your being able to share your talents and excellent selection of music with us at Paige and Eric's wedding.  We're so happy that we "found" you through our friend Amy Rangel, a member of the North Coast Orchestra!

 
Warm wishes,

...Your music added so much to the event, and we are so incredibly pleased with your group....Everyone came up to us and specifically mentioned how much they enjoyed the music - and how it took the evening to a whole new level.

Thanks again - very much!

'The kids and teachers all enjoyed your visit to our school. We feel fortunate that we could take part in such a fun and educational experience. Many of the kids have had little exposure to the world of  music. We appreciate your time and talent! Lauren is still talking about her "violin playing". The kids loved being involved!'

....You guys played so beautifully and added that special touch to our wedding that we've always dreamed of. When we were watching some of the raw video footage my brother shot, his high powered professional mic recorded your music with an amazing quality. You played flawlessly! ...

"Everyone has commented on how much you added to the event and how great the four of you sounded. It was lots of fun and your song selections were great (I am impressed that you could play Mozart and Gershwin within minutes of each other and have it sound so natural). Anyway, I am telling everyone the name of your group, referring them to the website, and encouraging them to attend your chamber music events. Lynn and I will definitely be attending as often as our schedules will allow. You are a real treasure within our community."

Wedding Reception at the Royal Oaks Country Club

“A special thanks to the OCP Quartet who blessed us with a truly special one and a half hour (+) bouquet of sound in the living room of our Parade Home on VIP night. (Joplin, Mozart, Gershwin, Pachelbel and more-wow!) Your variety of musical pieces combined with the talent, skill, and professionalism of each member held many of our guests completely spellbound as they meandered through the home.  We received many, many positive compliments for the added air of festivity.  Some even commented that the quality of musical entertainment was the icing on our cake called “The Highlander”    

 You have a classy program, and that contributed to making our home a classy product!

 Thank you, Thank you!”
