Our 47th season comes to a close with a rare treat. We are delighted to welcome the renowned Borromeo String Quartet with the outstanding rising stars of the Verona Quartet in a special collaborative program of string octets. From brilliantly contrapuntal Enescu to sharp, edgy Shostakovich and closing with the genre-defining Mendelssohn, it is a program perfectly designed for the acoustics of our beloved Dumbarton sanctuary. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to witness these eight stunning musicians fill the room with sound, in a spectacle of technical prowess and sublime music-making.
George Enescu Octet for Strings in C Major, Op. 7
Dmitri Shostakovich Two Pieces for String Octet, Op. 11
Felix Mendelssohn String Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 20
