A rare opportunity to welcome these two award-winning ensembles back to the NCEM as they join together to play one of the 19th century’s most remarkable works – the Mendelssohn Octet. Written in 1825 when just 16 years of age, the piece is full of exuberance and joy, yet notable for both its maturity and Mendelssohn’s intimate understanding of the instruments.

“Ravishing sonic and intonational purity … akin to hearing this groundbreaking music for the very first time” The Strad
