The program will feature Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings in E-flat. Written by Mendelssohn when he was sixteen years old, the Octet is considered by many to be one of the most impressive works of art of any kind created by someone so young.
Seamlessly merging the forces of two string quartets, the piece exemplifies the exuberance and joy of youth.
Also on the program will be an eclectic set of pieces by Richard Strauss, Maurice Ravel, Vincenzo Bellini, Astor Piazzolla, and Georg Frederic Handel (arranged by Johan Halvorsen) that explore other forms of passion in music: opera, tango, and delight in virtuosity.
