About

Founded in 2015, Oberton String Octet can look back on a successful career after only a few years. The eight young musicians from different nations are constantly working to expand their repertoire - from standard works and distinctive arrangements to rarities and world premieres. Here they present themselves with three string octets by Russian composers.
