The Majesty of Schubert’s Octet
August 31 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Schubert’s Octet was inspired by Beethoven’s Septet, which was immensely popular. Schubert adds a second violin to the ensemble. It is his chamber music answer to the Great C-Major Symphony—a masterpiece of immense proportions. Gernot Wolfgang joins us to introduce his “Impressions,” which are suggestive of imaginary paintings, “Carnival of Venice,” “Dream,” and “Country Road.” Wolfgang, a Grammy nominated composer, also uses the same instrumentation as the Beethoven Septet in his energetic, novel, and delightful addition to this illustrious repertoire.
