The end of next week will see the Season Finale concerts performed by the Chamber Music Society of San Francisco (CMSSF). The occasion will be marked by a guest appearance by violinist Kay Stern, Concertmaster for the San Francisco Opera. She will join the CMSSF musicians, violinists Natasha Makhijani and Jory Fankuchen, violist Clio Tilton, and cellist Samsun van Loon, in a performance of Felix Mendelssohn’s Opus 87 (second) string quintet in B-flat major, marking the grand finale of both the program and the season. That program will begin with Ludwig van Beethoven’s very first string quartet, the first of the six Opus 18 quartets, composed in the key of F major. This will be followed by Jessie Montgomery’s “Voodoo Dolls,” after which the program will conclude with the Mendelssohn quintet.
The San Francisco performance of this program will begin 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 13. The venue will be the Noe Valley Ministry, which is located at 1021 Sanchez Street, between 23rd Street and Elizabeth Street, a short walk from the Muni stops at the corner of 24th Street and Church Street.
