Works by Felix Mendelssohn

0 upcoming performances in New York

Felix Mendelssohn’s chamber music compresses the scale of the symphony into close conversation, built on clean counterpoint and quick shifts of mood. In New York City, his works have been a steady reference point since the 19th century, heard early in the city’s German musical circles and later anchored in the repertory of conservatories and concert societies. At Groupmuse NYC, the “Duos & Trios” program on Friday, December 19, 2025 at 7:00 PM places Mendelssohn alongside Fauré and Beethoven in the intimate frame these scores were made for. One critical note: the music’s poise can seem effortless, but it demands ensemble precision.
