Octet Excitement – David Perry Leads the Strings of Midsummer’s Music and the Griffon String Quartet

The forces of the superb Griffon String Quartet and the Strings of Midsummer join forces under the guidance and example of violinist David Perry in two stunning Octets. The orchestral aura of these two works is enhanced by the unique presence of the double bass. The program begins with the haunting Chaconne by Penderecki in memory of Pope John Paul II written shortly after his death.
