Classical Up Close is a chamber music festival created and produced by members of the Oregon Symphony and friends. Our mission is to bring high quality, live classical music to as many people as possible. To that end, we travel to neighborhoods all around the Portland metro area, holding concerts outside of the usual downtown concert hall, and every performance is free.

About Seth Biagini, cello
Seth Biagini’s musical experiences have taken him to venues as obscure as the top of Aspen Mountain, an isolated East Coast island accessible only by boat, and a beer hall in Austria, as well as Carnegie Hall, David Geffen Hall, Alice Tully Hall, and Disney Hall. Hailing from a family of cellists, Seth begun his training in piano at age four and added the cello at age nine. Having received both his Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees at The Juilliard School, Seth studied with renowned cellists such as Timothy Eddy, Natasha Brofsky, Alan Stepansky, and Robert deMaine. Competition accolades include Variations on a Rococo Theme by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with the Palisades Symphony Orchestra and Dmitri Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto with the Culver City Orchestra as well as the Pasadena Community Orchestra. His love for chamber music has led him to summer festivals, where he has spent time at Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music School and Festival, Taos School of Music, Aspen Music Festival and School, and Sarasota Music Festival. Attending Aspen Music Festival and School for three years, the New York String Orchestra Seminar led by Jaime Loredo, Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, and, most recently, the Verbier Festival in Switzerland, has given Seth the experience needed to enter the professional orchestral arena, first with Colorado Symphony and now Oregon Symphony.
