This concert focuses on the virtuosity of musicians who use their breath as the force to create music – voice, woodwind and brass. Starting with the heat and energy of Poulenc’s Sextet for winds and piano, we include two works by Schumann – his beautiful song cycle “A Poet’s Love” written while he was yearning for his wife Clara, and his three romances for oboe & piano which he gave to her as a present. The concert concludes with Brahms’ famous horn trio – perhaps the most significant piece of chamber music written for that instrument.
EVENT TIME CHANGE: Please note that this concert will start at 7:30pm (originally scheduled for 8pm)
