About this event

On their return to the Torroella Festival seventeen years after their first appearance, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble will perform a delightful programme of chamber music including a sonata by the 12-year-old Rossini, an arrangement for chamber ensemble of the fine variations composed by Brahms in tribute to Schumann, and Schubert’s charming Octet, a work that follows in the tradition of the serenades and divertimenti of the 18th century.
