The Classicus Quartet's series, now in its fifth year, offers a unique cross-section of string quartet literature at the BMC Concert Hall. The closing concert will sum up the past 5 years, during which they have performed more than 60 works in 18 concerts, including a number of world premieres. In the first half of the evening, the trio formed from the quartet’s members will return to the alpha and omega of music history, performing Bach and Kurtág's densely woven pieces of transcendent compactness, and in the second half, they will look back on previous collaborations and bid farewell to the series with guest artists. The group will perform the charming Octet by the teenage Mendelssohn, a work that was highly unusual for its time with its score for eight string players, but which almost immediately became a popular piece in the chamber music repertoire.
