The dynamic Manchester Camerata return to Lancaster Arts to perform one of Schubert's major chamber works, his Octet for wind and strings.
There are contrasting styles throughout the Octet with delicate, lively dances, memorable melodies and moving emotional twists. This really is music born from Schubert’s innermost being. Renowned clarinettist Ferdinand Troyer commissioned the Octet in 1824, with a request for a work similar to Beethoven's Septet in E-Flat Major.
The Octet boasts the largest scale for any chamber work by Schubert and opportunities to hear a live performance are rare, so don't miss your chance to hear a true masterpiece!
Manchester Camerata, the UK's most relentlessly pioneering orchestra, known for their unstoppable energy, bring their principal players, led by violinist Caroline Pether, to perform this joyous and heart-rending piece.
They opened Glastonbury festival in front of 40,000 people in 2017 with an orchestral rave, toured internationally, performed in the world's most iconic concert venues and broken-down barriers by collaborating with artists from different backgrounds and genres.
