Chamber Music Series
Welcome to our next chamber season, where the enduring power of music lifts our spirits, teases our intellects, and elevates us to a better place on a quiet afternoon in New England. You, our intrepid audience, are half of that voyage. With immense gratitude and excitement, we look forward to continuing our journey together into this most rewarding, elusive, and precious dimension of human endeavor.

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.
