Performer: Quatuor Ébène

A concert of Mendelssohn and Enescu octets which proves that eight can be more than four plus four.

Sometimes you just marvel at the level of musical inspiration and the virtuosic quality of the playing. The two octets by Mendelssohn and Enescu make a very satisfying pairing.

A programme consisting of works from three different centuries illustrated the French ensemble's versatility and acumen. 

Virtuosity and grace meet with impeccable provenance and immense value – in an all-Stradivarius concert at Cadogan Hall this December.

Violoncelliste du Quatuor Ébène, directeur musical de l'ensemble Les Forces Majeures, compositeur, pianiste de jazz, Raphaël Merlin revient sur son parcours et ses projets tous azimuts.
