Event Details

Schubert's Octet in F major, D. 803 was composed in March 1824. It was commissioned by the renowned clarinetist Ferdinand Troyer shortly after Beethoven's Septet was written, although Schubert reportedly requested that he be allowed to include a second violin part. The premier of Schubert's Octet was in fact performed by many of the same musicians who premiered Beethoven's Septet. This Octet was written within weeks of Schubert's other major chamber works, the Rosamunde and the Death and the Maiden string quartets, but is his largest scale work by far.

Join the musicians of Octobertet for an evening of early 19th century elegance!

Bay Area Classical Harmonies



Called by some "the most versatile group in the Bay Area," BACH's impressive range of repertoire has included cantatas, symphonies and masses. The Opera division, incorporating stage professionals and up-and-comers, first performed at the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts, presenting a concert version of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" in December 2000. Since its inception in 1998 by graduate and undergraduate students of the Music Department of UC Berkeley, BACH has cultivated young musical talent through the performance of great classical works for audiences in the Bay Area and beyond. The group attained non-profit status in May 2002, promoting professionalism and providing tax benefits to its donors.
