————————–

Do you love string music? Then this is the chamber concert for you ! But beware, it delivers not only the all time masterpiece Mendelssohn’s octet – so beautiful that the composer put the Scherzo from it in his “ A Midsummer Night’s Dream” – but also a a Polish rarity.

Mendelssohn was only 16 when he wrote his classic octet, which according to one observer is “a wonder of perfection”. The concert’s octet is a “double string quartet” but the quartet by Bacewicz is for four violins! As a violinist, her ear for strings was unfailing, otherwise no one would dare to write for four violins…

Welcome!

The program may change due to restrictions and adjustments in connection with the ongoing pandemic.
