In honor of the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn’s birth, Rob Kapilow, the Borromeo and Ariel String Quartets turn the What Makes It Great?® spotlight on Mendelssohn’s magnificent Octet in E-flat Major. Kapilow and company will reveal the brilliance in the finest details of Mendelssohn’s magnificent work.

"Because Kapilow is so good at what he does, knowledge about how music actually works, how it is put together … doesn’t fly away with the whirlwind, but instead lodges in the memory, where it can grow."
—The Boston Globe
