GALA OPENER: Dances, Romances, and Mendelssohn's Octet

Parlance Chamber Concerts's Gala Opener for the 11th season will showcase nine dazzling artists in scintillating dances and soulful romances by Beethoven, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, de Falla, and others. The afternoon will climax with their collaboration in Felix Mendelssohn's Octet for strings, the 16-year-old composer's miraculous melding of youthful exuberance and sovereign musical command.
