Don’t miss this wildly entertaining night with our beloved Sydney Symphony Orchestra woodwind musicians.
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.
