A performance by Orchestra of the Swan's principal string players

Armscote Manor’s beautiful barn provides the setting for the Orchestra of the Swan’s principal string players as they perform Felix Mendelssohn’s Octetis - a work written by the legendary German composer at the tender age of just 16. Alternatively intimate and symphonic, the half-hour-long piece is not only a real favourite with string players but also came top of the list with Mendelssohn himself when he assessed his own body of work.
