The repertoire ranges from acclaimed masterpieces to undeservedly obscure gems by all-but-forgotten composers during this 6-concert series held mostly on Saturdays. Kenneth Slowik, SCMS artistic director and recipient of the Smithsonian Distinguished Scholar Award, again curates a series of pre-concert talks one hour prior to each concert, shedding light on the glorious music and the lives and times of the featured composers. Concert Program In December, enjoy a program of Johann Sebastian Bach’s sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord.
