This concert celebration launches our 42nd season with some of the most beautiful chamber music ever written!

You may be familiar with the woodwind quintet instrumentation: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn, and this grouping has been a favorite of audiences and composers for generations. When we add piano to the mix—in this case, the SCCP’s new concert Yamaha C7—the result is nothing less than musical magic!

The group performs masterpieces spanning our western musical heritage, representing the very breadth and heart of our beloved European and American musical traditions. You’ll be transported through time in a musical landscape that starts in California and ends in Vienna!  Music by Darius Milhaud, Anton Reicha, Paul Taffanel, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Join us for this heart-warming concert (and a few surprises)!
