Ligeti: Six Bagatelles for Woodwind Quintet
Mendelssohn: Octet for Strings

In this special-edition concert, audiences are treated to Hungarian composer Ligeti’s six spirited pieces for Woodwind Quintet; like flashes in a midnight sky, these delightful miniatures will transport you. And the remarkable sound of eight string players performing Felix Mendelssohn’s brilliant Octet will send you to the stars with this exuberant miracle of a piece created by a 16-year-old-genius. Awaken your Sunday with bottomless mimosas and a delectable brunch by favorite chef Mark Estee.
