CBSO Winds plays Mozart
January 26th 2025 at 15:00 – 16:00
Two pearls of beauty for wind ensemble. Anna Clyne was inspired by Emily Dickinson’s enigmatic poetry for Overflow in which the poet flirts with the mighty power of the sea. The wind ‘dectet’ portrays both the seabed, and the playful, sometimes sinister, creatures and forces within. Mozart’s Gran Partita is simply sublime – in the 1984 film Amadeus, Salieri is overcome with wonder on hearing it: “This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing…”
There will be no interval during this concert.

Mozart Bassoon Concerto
R Strauss Serenade for Winds, Op 7
R Strauss Symphony No. 1 in D minor
Unfailingly charming and breathtakingly expressive, Francois Leleux delivers profound musical insights and high drama as both oboist and conductor. His matinee programme with the SCO is one of discoveries, written by teenage composers.
SCO Principal Bassoon Cerys Ambrose-Evans is the soloist in the expressive, cheeky concerto that Mozart composed aged 18, while Richard Struass blends influences from Mozart and Medelssohn in the richly lyrical Serenade for 13 wind instruments he wrote as a 17-year-old. His passionate, poewrful Symphony comes from a year earlier, but Georgian teenager Tsotne Zedginidze – born as recently as 2009 – has already been celebrated as a major musical prodigy.
