The program is dedicated to the octet format, and the audience will hear how different composers utilize this rich and dynamic ensemble. Among the performers are Ludvig Gudim, Henning Kraggerud, Marianne Thorsen (violin), Máté Szücs, Frida Siegrist Oliver (viola), Troels Svane, and Maria Conde-Campos (cello).
