Mendelssohn Octet

  • St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Hanover, NH 9 West Wheelock Street Hanover, NH, 03755 United States (map)

Oak Hill Music Festival returns to St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Hanover this summer, the perfect space for another performance of large-scale chamber masterworks. Selections from J.S. Bach’s monumental final work The Art of the Fugue, in Samuel Baron’s  arrangement for woodwind quintet and string quartet, are paired with Sameul Coleridge-Taylor’s recently rediscovered Nonet  for winds, strings, and piano. We conclude with Mendelssohn’s Octet for strings, one of the composer’s most beloved works, and an icon of the string repertoire.

Purchase tickets below, on Eventbrite, or at the door.
