This exciting season finale features new arrangements of Mendelssohn&rsquo;s Octet and Schoenberg&rsquo;s Verkl&auml;rte Nacht for woodwinds by Marsha Schweitzer. Every donation helps us keep high-quality, accessible chamber music thriving in neighborhoods across Houston. Join us, invite a friend, and be part of a community that gathers around sound, story, and shared roots. 🎶
