SCO Wind Soloists - Summer Tour
7.30pm, 27th June - Fyvie Castle
7.30pm, 28th June - Woodend Barn
Beamish - The Naming of Birds
Françaix - Quatuor
Mozart - Serenade in C minor K388
Raff - Sinfonietta
SCO Wind Soloists
Alison Mitchell, Brontë Hudnott - Flute
Robin Williams, Rosie Staniforth - Oboe
Maximiliano Martín, William Stafford - Clarinet
Peter Whelan, Alison Green - Bassoon
Alec Frank-Gemmill, Harry Johnstone - Horn
A delightful programme of music chosen and played by the acclaimed SCO Wind Soloists. Raff has been sadly overshadowed since his death, but if you love joyful, zesty music like Mendelssohn’s Octet you will greatly enjoy his Sinfonietta. Mozart’s Serenade is its dark twin: as operatic and dramatic as Raff is genial. Francaix cannot help but charm his audience, and his quartet is full of panache and a delightful joie de vivre. Sally Beamish’s enchanting piece gives every member of its quintet a chance to evoke a specific bird solo - so who will be the partridge, lapwing, linnet, barn owl or bullfinch? Please join us and find out.
