Warm up your winter afternoon with the glorious sound of woodwinds and piano, as wind players from the Auckland Philharmonia join acclaimed pianist Stephen De Pledge for a concert designed to lift your spirits when you need it most.
Oboist Camille Wells, clarinettist Jonathan Cohen, bassoonist Ingrid Hagan, and horn player Gaby Pho each take their turn in the spotlight across a beautifully varied programme, from the lyrical charm of Coulthard’s Oboe Sonata and Gliere’s tender Nocturne to the playful wit of Grovlez’s Sicilienne et Allegro Giocoso and the vivid storytelling of Bernstein’s Clarinet Sonata, before oboe, horn, and piano combine for Blanc’s graceful Romance.
Finally, the full ensemble comes together for Mozart’s beloved Quintet in E-flat major. It’s an afternoon of intimate chamber music at its finest — come let these radiant winds chase away the winter cold and leave you glowing.
