Schubert Octet

  • April 10, 2022

The inimitable musical poetry of Franz Schubert

Described by Franz Liszt as “the most poetic musician who ever lived”, Schubert’s short but prolific career produced masterpieces characterized by rich harmonies and a seemingly endless gift for melody. Amici will present a range of works from the earliest of his musical compositions to the last, including one of his greatest masterworks, the monumental Octet in F major, featuring the exceptional violinist, Mayumi Seiler, and guest artistis: Michael Sweeney (bassoon), Neil Deland (horn), Katya Poplyansky (violin), Alejandro Valdepeñas (viola) and Michael Chiarello (bass).
