About this Performance
In May of 1847, composer Felix Mendelssohn learned of the death of his sister Fanny, four years his elder, an excellent musician and composer in her own right, who was his closest confidante. He wrote his last great work, as a “Requiem for Fanny.” Experience the storm of Felix Mendelssohn’s fiery Opus 80 String Quartet and enjoy the afterglow with artful arrangements of Shawn Mendes. The program begins with Fanny Mendelssohn’s exquisite String Quartet in Eb. A story of this fabled family of musicians told in music!

About This Series
It’s no surprise that most musicians reply “chamber music!” when asked about their favourite music to play. Written for a living room “chamber” rather than a concert hall, it’s music written for a cozy gathering of friends and neighbours that are close enough to hear the softest whisper. Chamber music requires each player to shrug off convention, express their unique voice and make music spontaneously, responding to each other and to the audience.
