SCO 2019/20: Chamber Sunday with SCO Wind Soloists

Two magnificent wind ensembles; four exhilarating masterpieces from the wind repertoire. The SCO’s own eminent Wind Soloists join forces with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s crack Wind Students for a much-anticipated afternoon of high spirits and playful charm.

Nielsen’s striking Quintet; Seiber’s superbly conceived folk-like sextet for pairs of clarinets, bassoons and horns; Britten’s atmospheric movement for wind sextet written when he was still at school; and Strauss’ Suite combines all the forces with a nod towards the great orchestral wind writing later heard in his symphonic works.

Nielsen: Wind Quintet, Op 43
Seiber: Serenade for Wind Sextet
Britten: Movement for Wind Sextet
Strauss: Suite in B-flat, Op 4
