Overview

The Times has described the ensemble as ‘five extremely gifted Dutch gents who almost made the reed quintet seem the best musical format on the planet’. Though new works form part of its repertoire for the unique combination of oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bass clarinet and bassoon, here it offers a variety of arrangements.

This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
