Octet by Mendelssohn

Of the rare octets for strings, Mendelssohn's masterpiece is probably the most famous. This masterpiece, which the composer wrote at 16 years old, expresses his youthful ardor and passion. The music is not only a delight for the audience, but also for the musicians on stage. The crème de la crème of Festival Musiq3’s faithful musicians gather for the occasion around violinist Lorenzo Gatto to share their joy of playing with the audience.
