SCCMS 2020/2021 Season Finale
The South Coast Chamber Music Series (SCCMS) presents “Radiance,” on May 15, virtually. Get ready for a garden of musical delights!
SCCMS closes its season with three works of particular brilliance. The second String Quartet of distinguished African-American composer Florence Price illuminates and inspires after a century of neglect. Francis Poulenc’s sole Violin Sonata, written in memory of poet Federico García Lorca, burns with lyricism and virtuosity in the hands of concertmaster Jesse Holstein. In homage to the centenary of his passing, our program closes with the effulgent Piano Quartet Op. 41 of Camille St. Saens. A spring celebration indeed!

NEW BEDFORD The South Coast Chamber Music Series will present “From Russia with Love,” virtually. What better way to celebrate winter than a troika of Russian beauties? Shostakovich hits a playfully tart bull’s-eye with his first String Quartet (1938), composed after the huge success of his Fifth Symphony reinstated the composer in official favor. Rachmaninoff’s beloved Vocalise, arranged for viola and piano, weaves its melancholy magic, after which the C Minor Piano Trio by Rimsky-Korsakov brings our Russian ride to a fittingly colorful end.
The musicians performing in this concert are principal chairs of the NBSO Jesse Holstein (violin), EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks (violin), Anna Griffis (viola), Leo Eguchi (cello), and SCCMS Artistic Director Janice Weber (piano).
