Mendelssohn Octet Performance: a Showcase of Local Talent

Once crowned as “one of the miracles of nineteenth century music,” the Mendelssohn Octet finds its way to the north county area in a performance by eight local musicians. Presenting “A Midwinter Moment with Mendelssohn,” the octet performance will be 3 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27.

It is set for the Rancho Bernardo Library Community Room, 17110 Bernardo Center Drive.

This new concert series was created to expand the opportunity for talented area musicians to perform in public.

Many of the musicians are also music educators and will enhance the programs by offering insights into the music, the composers and the performers. All Discovery Concert performances are free to the public.
