The 38th season opener of the Utsey Chamber Music Series features the Borromeo String Quartet of New England Conservatory and the Verona Quartet of Oberlin Conservatory. This concert explores three masterpieces of the string octet repertoire: Enescu’s Octet for Strings, Op. 7; Shostakovich’s Two Pieces for String Octet, Op. 11; and Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings, Op. 20. The renown Borromeo Quartet performed at the Brooks Center during its first season 30 years ago. Shortly after the Verona’s performance at the Brooks Center in 2022, their second album, SHATTER, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Chart.
