Carrying on its mission to make great chamber music programming accessible to all of New York City's five boroughs, 5BMF continues its season of diverse programming with The New Consort performing their program RETURN / REVIVE: A Meditation on Grief, Hope, and Community on Friday, November 1, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. at Brooklyn Art Haus and Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church on Staten Island.
