| | | Members and friends of the Palo Alto Philharmonic will perform a treasured chamber work: Mendelssohn's 'Octet in E-flat major, Op. 20'. Written for double string quartet at the age of 16, it is considered one of his early masterpieces. A delight to the audience ear and for the musicians to play.
Wagner penned 'Siegfried Idyll' for a small chamber orchestra as a birthday present to his second wife, Cosima, after the birth of their son Siegfried in 1869.Today, it is often performed in Wagner's full orchestral version, but you will get the rare chance to hear it as originally intended.
Rounding out the program are two works for flute and clarinet. Heitor Villa-Lobos' 'Chôros No. 2 for Flute and Clarinet' is a duet written in 1924, an early part of that series of compositions. Rarely-hear French composer Maurice Emmanuel wrote 'Sonate Op. 11 for Flute, Clarinet and Piano (Trio)' in 1907.
