On May 17th, 2022, the Rosin Octet joined Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino to premiere the piece “Credo – Music for Orchestra VII” by the world-famous and successful composer Jay Schwartz. Invited by the composer himself, the ensemble travelled to Turin, Italy, where they performed the piece at the beautiful hall of Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi, alongside the musicians of Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino, and under the baton of Jay Schwartz.

About his piece, Jay Schwartz stated:

“Credo“, (Italian for “I believe”) spoken from the perspective of the listener, “I believe I hear...”, is a reference to the auditory illusion taking place based on the Shepard tone phenomenon, a kind of acoustical equivalent of the Penrose stairs, in which overlapping glissandi separated by octaves create the illusion of a continually ascending pitch, whereas ultimately one cannot be entirely sure if it is indeed getting higher.”
