Join the AXIOM Ensemble for their first concert of the spring semester!
March 18, 2025 4:30pm | W18 Thomas Tull Concert Hall
Repertoire
- Nonet in F Major, Louis Spohr
Adam Boyles, Conductor
Axiom explores the nonet repertoire in its second semester. The “Grand” Nonet in F major of Louis Spohr, written in 1813, is a milestone of the nonet repertoire, and set the standard for instrumentation and scope for many such works to follow.
An axiom is defined as an established rule or principle; a self-evident truth. It also stems from the word axios which means ‘worthy’. There are musical works which don’t quite fit in the context of a typical large-ensemble concert nor chamber music concert, but are most certainly worthy works of art. AXIOM, MIT’s newest ensemble, explores such musical works.
