The Aurelian Ensemble is a brand new Chamber Music Collective\, founded out of a shared love for Franz Schubert&rsquo\;s monumental Octet in F Major - a work whose warmth\, lyricism\, and symphonic scale have inspired musicians and audiences for generations. \;
\n\n\;
\n\nWritten in 1824 and modelled in part after Beethoven&rsquo\;s Septet\, the Octet expands the possibilities of chamber music with sweeping melodies\, rich textures\, and extraordinary interplay between the eight performers. \;
\n\n\;
\n\nThis concert is part of an NSQF Young Artists tour which celebrates Schubert&rsquo\;s Octet as the piece that has brought these eight dynamic young musicians - from a variety of backgrounds and all high achievers in their own right - together for their inaugural concerts. \;
