Thunder Egg Consort​

Anthea Kreston, violin
Kenji Bunch, viola and composer
Jason Duckles, cello
Monica Ohuchi, piano

The Thunder Egg Consort is a group of seasoned performers who bring their individual talents together as a piano quartet comprised of violin, viola, cello, and piano. These graduates of some of the finest music schools in the country (Juilliard and Curtis) have won international competitions, have been mentored by wonderful musicians such as Isaac Stern, and have performed alongside artists such as Yo Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor and Harry Connick, Jr. They have recorded for Sony and Naxos, been featured on television and radio (in residence with NPR) and are able to compose and play in a variety of styles (classical, blue- grass and contemporary.) Having forged their varied careers in Europe and the New York area, these four musicians (three of whom originally hail from the Northwest) recently had children. They then realized that it would be much nicer to live in the Northwest again, and sold their houses and moved to Oregon. Taking their name and infrom the state rock, they have formed a consort and are forging new ground in their reclaimed homeland.
