The South Coast Chamber Music Series (SCCMS) presents “Benediction”, a musical banquet to close your Thanksgiving weekend in grand style. A quick, quirky trio by Philip Glass fascinates – then vanishes. Max Bruch’s lyrical Piano Quintet, one of his few chamber works, weaves a delightful spell surprisingly reminiscent of Mendelssohn. In conclusion Beethoven’s sublime E-flat Major string quartet Op. 127, a work of luminescent beauty and genius, evokes deep gratitude for the twin gifts of life and art.

On Saturday, November 26, the Chamber Music performance will take place in Marion at St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church (124 Front Street). On Sunday, November 27, the venue is in South Dartmouth at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church (351 Elm Street). Both concerts begin at 4:00 pm. Tickets are $25 and must be purchased in advance at https://nbsymphony.org/chamber-series-2022-2023/. Please check the website for current COVID-19 safety policies.
