CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES BEGINS AT CALARTS.Byline: Daily NewsVALENCIA - California Institute of the Arts' School of Music will present five evenings of chamber music this month and next featuring baroque, romantic and lyric compositions. Internationally renowned musicians from the CalArts faculty and invited guests will perform in the series, with a reception following each concert featuring refreshments chosen to enhance the theme of the evening. Mark Menzies, CalArts professor of violin, viola and chamber music, designed the fall concert series to introduce audiences to the classical side of CalArts. ``This little collection of concerts illustrates that although CalArts' School of Music is renowned for its avant-garde explorations, its instrumental faculty is also versed in traditional forms,'' Menzies said.
