Pacific Serenades brings its 27th season to a close on Sunday, June 3 with a program of chamber music for winds by Mozart, Poulenc, Saint-Saëns, and local composer Stephen Cohn.

Southern California is enjoying an embarrassment of riches when it comes to chamber music. Pacific Serenades holds its own place of distinction alongside world-class caliber groups such as the Dilijan Chamber Series, Camerata Pacifica, Southwest Chamber Music and Salastina Chamber Society.

Joining the program will be pianist Joanne Pearce Martin whose sensitive artistry has been given glowing praise in these pages in the past.

Tickets for the concert are $34. To obtain tickets and more information, visit www.pacser.org or call (213) 534-3434.
