The South Coast Chamber Music Society (SCCMS) was formed in 2001 to present high quality classical chamber music for the communities of Southeastern Massachusetts. SCCMS held its first subscription series concert on October 20, 2001. Since then, we have presented concerts, featuring composers from Bach and Brahms to present-day masters such as Takemitsu and Harbison. In each program, we attempt to vary the instrumentation, blending winds and strings, and engaging guest artists to present a wide range of musical colors and styles.
The South Coast Chamber Music Society is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to presenting high quality chamber music to Greater New Bedford and the communities of Southeastern Massachusetts.
It is our ambition as performers to breathe life into the artistic creation of our fellow composers, to strive to reach ever higher levels of expertise and expression, and to inspire you, the audience, to achieve great things.
A Note from the Artistic Director…
Once again, the passionate and distinguished musicians of the South Coast Chamber Music Society look forward to bringing you a season of well-known and loved chamber music by the great masters. Presented with freshness and energy, the Chamber Music Society is eager to inspire you with unforgettable musical experiences.
My own belief is that music builds community. And it is our shared passion and purpose that create a community. I love music; I love the process, the rehearsals, the merging of mind, spirit, knowledge and expertise to create a unified interpretation of the composer’s intent. I love to share the fruit of this process with you. It is my fervent wish that the music presented this season will recharge your energy and inspire you to be more than you thought possible, to challenge you to make a positive difference in our community and our world.
