Mendelssohn's Octet

Who’s on stage
We are off to Lammermuir Festival with Maria Wloszczowska – set among rolling hills, sea views, and historic buildings, it’s the perfect setting for music that stirs the soul.
What they’re playing
Get ready for a big night of chamber music with plenty of heart and sparkle. Mendelssohn’s Octet is almost too good to believe – written when he was just 16, it’s the work that put him on the map as a teenage genius. Alongside it, Brahms’s youthful 1st Serenade – composed at 22, brims with energy, warmth, and a touch of brilliance.
