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 mid-November, the Smithsonian Chamber Players offers a feast of sumptuous late-17th-century Austrian music by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and Johann Schmelzer.
