Welcome to OICMF Scherzo (skert·sō/ noun: a vigorous, light, or playful composition)

Another Video Highlight from August, 2024


Our 27th Season ended with a wonderful medley, arranged for string octet by Miró Quartet violinist William Fedkenheuer and dedicated to our dear friend and fiddle fan, the late Bill Anders. It was beautiful, it was touching, it was rousing, it was the perfect finale - nothing like wrapping up an amazing season of chamber music with a hoedown! We know you'll enjoy it now as much as we all enjoyed it in August!
