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.
