Françaix: Octet
Schubert: Octet in F major for Winds & Strings, D. 803
Join London’s Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble for a riveting program featuring Schubert’s Octet in F major, D. 803, considered one of the greatest chamber works of all time; Françaix’s witty Octet, commissioned as a companion piece to Schubert’s Octet; and a special work commissioned by the Academy. Drawn from the principal players of the legendary orchestra the Academy of St Martin in the Fields (ASMF)—founded by the late English conductor and violinist Sir Neville Marriner with Joshua Bell serving as current music director— the chamber ensemble is directed/led by violinist Tomo Keller. Enjoy this “bravura music-making of a high order” (Washington Classical Review).
