SSO Chamber Series: Schubert’s Octet with Paul Huang

Musicians of the Singapore Symphony are joined by acclaimed violinist Paul Huang in Schubert’s serene Octet in F major, written for an ensemble of clarinet, horn, bassoon, violins, viola, cello and double bass. Schubert’s Octet came about as a commission by Count Ferdinand Troyer, an amateur clarinettist in the court of the Archduke Rudolf of Austria, whose tender and beautiful handling of the instrument is reflected in the piece.FEATURINGPaul Huang, violinMusicians of the SSOPROGRAMMESchubert Octet in F major, D. 803
