Two of Europe’s most distinguished string quartets come together to perform monumental works of the chamber music repertoire. Written when both composers were still in their teens, the Mendelssohn and Enescu octets are prodigious creations, symphonic in concept and impact, with gorgeous melodies and rich, multilayered textures. Join for a pre-concert lecture by David Plylar, Music Division, “Teen eighngst: the early string octet powerhouses by Felix Mendelssohn and George Enescu.” This concert inaugurates the Sally Hart and Bennett Tarlton McCallum Fund in the Library of Congress. Reserve tickets on October 2 at 10:00 a.m. ET.
