Written when Schubert was just a couple of years older than our ANAM musicians today and lit by the same youthful joy, the Octet is an uber-virtuosic delight. To our Musica Viva friends, ANAM is offering 2 double passes to hear the complete work first in a standalone concert on Wednesday 25 March, and second, as a stunning finale to an eclectic performance of works by Arvo Pärt and Kate Moore on Friday 27 March.

Please email info@anam.com.au with your name and best contact details to enter the giveaway.

Evoking a spectacular image of ‘a mirror in a mirror’, allow Arvo Pärt and our ANAM musicians to lull you into a state of meditation and tranquillity to start this evening performance, before plunging you into an exploration of sound and time with Australian composer Kate Moore. In the final hour, our musicians take on Schubert’s largest chamber work, the Octet in F Major, in an exciting conclusion of this program.
