About this Event

Rossini Overture to The Barber of Seville

Ponchielli Dance of the Hours

Debussy Petite Suite

Mozart Serenade for 13 Wind Instruments K.361

The woodwind have their chance to shine in this programme of colourful music from around Europe with Mozart's iconic and treasured Serenade for 13 Wind Instruments paired with works arranged for wind quintet.

Rossini's effervescent Overture to the Barber of Seville is the perfect opener, and the Italian theme is continued with Dance of the Hours, a ballet from Amilcare Ponchielli's opera La Gioconda, made famous by its inclusion in Disney's 1940 film Fantasia with dancing and duelling hippos and alligators taking centre stage.

Debussy's dance-like Petite Suite beautifully translates from the original piano duet to scoring for wind quintet. The first two movements are based on poems by the 19th century poet Paul Verlaine, from his 1869 collection Fêtes galantes. The poems evoke the era of 18th-century aristocrats on country outings, romantic trysts and languid evenings.
