Get ready for the grand finale of our festival—it’s going to take chamber music to a whole new level! We’re excited to bring together eight talented musicians on stage to share the incredible works of two amazing child prodigies. 


First up is the Enescu Octet, which George Enescu wrote when he was just 19! Although it’s not as well-known, this piece is a real gem. It’s long and quite challenging, filled with explosive musical moments and mind-bending textures that are truly one of a kind.


And let’s not forget the Mendelssohn Octet, composed when Felix Mendelssohn was only 16! This piece is a musical gem, and is often performed, making it a perfect finale to our celebration.


Join us for this wonderful concert as we wrap up an unforgettable festival!
