Brahms & Mendelssohn at the Synclaire

This recital features two major works of chamber music: Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet Op. 115 and Mendelssohn’s Octet Op. 20. The program brings together the Third Avenue String Quartet, clarinet, and additional string players for a rich, expressive afternoon of music.

Fun fact: the Synclaire was once home to the Fargo Music Conservatory and the image featured in the concert graphic is an original photo from that time. Today it is a beautifully updated historic venue that provides the perfect setting for this performance.
