CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERT
Featuring Franz Schubert's Octet for Strings and Winds
March 30 | 2pm
The Northern Neck Orchestra’s Chamber Series concludes its season with Franz Schubert’s virtuoso Octet in F major, a sublime masterpiece for mixed strings and winds that is filled with warmth, joy and hope. 

The concert on March 30 at 2:00 p.m. at Good Luck Cellars, 1025 Goodluck Road in Kilmarnock, will be performed by Moises Cunha and Nusheen Farahani, violins, Jane Lenz, viola, Lee Richey, cello, Sam Zagnit, double bass, Zachary Good, clarinet, Lauren Hunt, horn, and Michael Matushek, bassoon.​
Schubert’s octet is a magnificent mini-symphony in six movements showcasing the skills of eight musicians throughout a dazzling one-hour performance that will enchant concertgoers. 

- Moises Cunha
Artistic Director of the Chamber Music Serie
The octet premiered in the spring of 1824 at the Vienna home of Count Ferdinand Troyer, an official in the court of Archduke Rudolf of Austria and clarinetist, who commissioned Schubert to write the piece. 

As musical tastes changed, much of Schubert’s music, including the octet, was rarely performed following his death in 1828. Johannes Brahms brought attention to the remarkable composition when he finally succeeded in getting the octet published in 1889. It has been a celebrated work in the chamber music repertoire ever since.
