Opening the concert will be Bartok’s Rumanian Folk Dances, each of the six movements are inspired by traditional Transylvanian folk tunes originally written for either fiddle or shepherd’s flute.The Ensemble are also premiering an arrangement of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor for string octet.
