This year’s annual concert in Mission San Luis Obispo features three octets for very different ensembles. Norman’s Gran turismo opens the program, using perpetual virtuosity of eight violins to simulate the sounds of race cars.

After intermission, Scott Yoo conducts the “Gran Partita” wind serenade, one of Mozart’s most beloved masterpieces.
