Bellingham Chamber Music Society at the Hotel Leo: Sublime
Join the Bellingham Chamber Music Society for an afternoon of chamber music. Today's performance features a work by Jean Francaix. Dedicated to the memory of Franz Schubert, Francaix’s 'Octet A Huit' was premiered in Vienna in 1972 as an opener for the Schubert Octet and scored for the same instrumentation. Paired with the Francaix, is Schubert’s String Quintet in C major, the “Cello Quintet”. This was the final chamber work composed by Schubert - just two months before his death. It is now considered among the greatest chamber works of all time. Join us and stay for our reception to enjoy community with fellow audience members and our musicians.
