SUMMARY:South Coast Chamber Music Series: All Souls
DESCRIPTION:The New Bedford Symphony Orchestra will present “All Souls” Sunday\, Nov. 1 at 3 p.m.\, featuring music that explores ghosts\, war\, and remembrance. \nCharles Ives’ “Hallowe’en” opens the program\, followed by Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 3 in F Major and Johanna Senfter’s Piano Quartet in E minor.

Senfter\, a student of composer Max Reger\, remained largely unknown despite a prolific career. Her piano quartet closes the program. \nPerformers include EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks and Bryce Martin\, violins; Christopher Nunn\, viola; Leo Eguchi\, cello; and Janice Weber\, piano. \nTickets must be purchased in advance and are not available at the door.
