QUINTESSENTIALS

November 22 & 23, 2025, 3 PM

Two astonishing piano quintets and a colorful duo: music most perfect

Jessie Montgomery: Duo for Violin and Cello (2015)
Louise Farrenc: Piano Quintet No. 1 in A minor, Op. 30
Franz Schubert: Piano Quintet in A Major, D. 667 “Trout”

EmmaLee  Holmes-Hicks, violin
Emma Powell, violin
Anna Griffis, viola
Peter Zay, cello
Janice Weber, piano
Peter Walsh, bass

Born in 1804, Louise Farrenc was a true French Romantic whose works are earning – again – a huge following. Her unique Piano Quintet (1839), utilizing string bass, reflects and complements Schubert’s immortal “Trout” Quintet, a work employing the same musical forces. Firebrand American composer Jessie Montgomery proves that less is more with her delightful ode to friendship,  Duo for Violin and Cello.

The South Coast Chamber Music Series (SCCMS) was formed to present superior chamber music for the communities of Southeastern Massachusetts. SCCMS held its first subscription series concert on October 20, 2001. Since then, we have performed composers from Bach, Brahms, and Ravel to present-day masters Takemitsu and Piston. Each program presents an engaging array of styles, timbres, and artists in lively acoustic environments in Marion and South Dartmouth. We joined forces with the NBSO in 2014, giving both organizations an opportunity to expand in all directions—more concerts, more musicians, and more music—and are thrilled to connect with our loyal and growing audience.
