Eight strings ignite
From the intricacy of The Art of the Fugue, and the radiancy from the Goldberg Variations, Bach’s counterpoint unfolds across the ensemble. The night ends in a burst of youthful brilliance with Mendelssohn’s Octet, written at age sixteen and overflowing with virtuosity and soaring melodies.
This concert is made possible in part by ConocoPhillips, Neighborhood Series Premiere Sponsor, as well as the Houston Endowment, the Brown Foundation, the Cullen Trust for the Performing Arts, the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance, and by supporters like you.
