Join John Novacek and the Festival Artists as they take you on a “museum docent’s tour” of John's original string octet Music for 8. John will guide you through the piece, his compositional techniques and style, and lead the ensemble in performing some selections.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about this piece before it receives its California Premiere performance on July 29 at Chamber Concert 4 taking place at Mission San Luis Obispo.

Please note that the musicians may not perform the pieces in its entirety.
