South Coast Chamber Music Series Presents Travelogue

Feb 21, 2023

The South Coast Chamber Music Series (SCCMS) presents “Travelogue”, a planetary tour. Missy Mazzoli’s Death Valley Junction opens the program with withering heat before the refreshing Piano Quartet in A Minor, Op. 7 by Vincent d’Indy. This unique work offers soulful themes for cello and a ballade for viola before reaching a jovial, quite Parisian, conclusion. The final leg of our journey brings us to Saint Petersburg for Alexander Borodin’s masterful String Quartet No. 2, whose melodies have graced Kismet, Disney’s The Little Matchgirl, and Star Trek: Discovery. Bon voyage!

On Saturday, February 25, the Chamber Music performance will take place in Marion at St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church (124 Front Street). On Sunday, February 26, 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/https://nbsymphony.org/chamber-series-2022-2023/.
