Characterful and contrasting.
From the piccolo to the bassoon, woodwind instruments are capable of an extraordinary range of tones, colours and textures. This concert is a rare chance to hear the woodwind musicians of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra on their own, in music by two great late-Romantic masters, in the intimate setting of the City Recital Hall.
Richard Strauss wrote two early masterpieces for wind instruments, his Wind Serenade and his Suite for Wind Instruments. Expect colour and contrast and lots of fun in the characterful music that packs a vibrant punch.
Antonín Dvořák’s Wind Serenade builds over four gorgeous movements, from lyrical to lively and rhythmic. Infused with the folk music of his native Bohemia, this music has a rustic feel that’s tremendously charming.
Don’t miss this wildly entertaining night with our beloved Sydney Symphony Orchestra woodwind musicians.
