Mendelssohn Octet

Mendelssohn Octet

Mendelssohn Octet

03 Mar 2025 | 19:30 | Sheldonian Theatre, Broad Street

Mendelssohn Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66
Mendelssohn String Octet in E flat major, Op. 20

Soloists of Morningside Music Bridge, Boston
Soloists of Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra

‘One of the miracles of nineteenth-century music’ is how the music critic Conrad Wilson described Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings – the vivacious, brilliant and nigh-on perfect work of the 16-year-old composer who had no models to draw on. Soloists of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra join distinguished alumni from the Morningside Music Bridge Festival for this performance of Mendelssohn’s joyous score, following the second of the composer’s piano trios, which finds the composer at his most impassioned and rhapsodic. *Morningside Music Bridge brings together the finest emerging artists to perform on an international stage and measure themselves against the very best young performers globally.
