The Smithsonian Chamber Music Society celebrates its 38th season with musical masterpieces from the Elizabethan period to late 19th century. This is part of a six-concert series offered on Saturdays.
One hour prior to each program Kenneth Slowik, SCMS artistic director, continues his popular pre-concert lectures, shedding light on the lives and times of the featured composers and their glorious music.
In November, Juilliard Historical Performance graduate program leader Robert Mealy joins Kenneth Slowik to conclude their survey, begun last season, of Johann Sebastian Bach's six sonatas for harpsichord and violin. They also celebrate Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's 300th birthday, performing two of his empfindsamer Stil ("sensitive style") duos.
