Mendelssohn Octet with Miró Quartet + Isidore String Quartet

From the venue:

With the Miró Quartet’s seasoned artistry and the Isidore Quartet’s fresh dynamism, this collaboration promises to bring out “The Mendelssohn Octet” and its electrifying brilliance, from its soaring melodies to its breathtaking fugue. This year marks the 200th anniversary of one of the most exuberant and masterfully crafted chamber music works, which Mendelssohn composed at just 16. The Octet is a dazzling showcase of youthful energy, lyrical beauty, and intricate interplay, requiring eight musicians to blend with the precision of a single voice. They will also perform works by Haydn and Caroline Shaw. Event ticket includes a pre-concert talk with performers starting at 2:15 p.m.
