Hear musicians from the world-famous Berliner Philharmonic perform in an intimate chamber setting.
The concert opens with two rare treats - Carl Nielsen's Serenata, a mellow work full of warm melodies, followed with Franz Berwald's Septet. Written in 1828, it combines elements of Mozart's tunefulness with a more dramatic tone befitting of its period.
The second half is filled with Schubert's grand Octet. The largest chamber work by the composer - in scope and length - it draws on Schubert's innate ability as a songwriter, using his own lieder 'Der Wanderer' and his Singspiel Die Freunde von Salamanka for melodic inspiration.
