The 49th season of the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society features musical masterpieces from the early 17th century to the middle of the 20th, played on some of the world’s most highly prized musical instruments. The repertoire ranges from acclaimed masterpieces to undeservedly obscure gems by frequently overlooked composers. Veteran SCMS musicians will be joined on many of the programs by emerging artists in this 8-concert series.

Note: This concert does not include a pre-concert talk.
