Enescu's Octet
Concluding the Season with emotionally resonant program
​
As the season draws to a close, we invite you join us for an enchanting evening, celebrating the beauty of 'tenderness'.
Throughout the season, we have curated diverse concert programs, that evoke a distinct atmosphere through carefully chosen themes. During the planning process, we found ourselves in a 'post-pandemic mood,' driven by a collective desire to provide audiences with a fundamental sense of positivity and buoyancy as a lasting impression that lingers as you leave the concert hall.
​
Our season has explored various themes, celebrating the profoundly positive while also embracing the vulnerable aspects of human experience. Through this careful curation, we hope to have captured a broad spectrum of emotions within the music. And now, the culmination of this year's subscription series invites you to 'a time for tenderness'. Renowned violinist Anthony Marwood has meticulously crafted a program that strikes a delicate balance, setting a fundamental mood without overwhelming us with tender emotions. As the season's concluding piece, we invite you discover a true revelation in the realm of music, Enescu's Octet in an arrangement for string orchestra.
