Change of Artist

Owing to illness, Ursula Leveaux (bassoon) is no longer able to perform in the above concert. We are grateful to Amy Harman (bassoon) for stepping in as their replacement. The programme remains the same.

This lively programme explores Czech music of the 1920s: Erwin Schulhoff’s wind Divertissement and Martinů’s sunny Sextet are infused with edgy jazz harmonies and dance rhythms. Janáček, four decades their senior, looks back to his own childhood in Mládí.
