Programme Note
The Magnard Ensemble is an exceptionally lively and enterprising wind quintet, their programme blending original pieces with new arrangements and commissions. Humour and delight abound.
From a playful start with Zemlinsky's "Humoreske," the Gallic charm of Jacques Ibert, up to the contemporary vibrancy of György Ligeti’s “Bagatelles” and Paul Patterson's witty, folk inspired “Westerly Winds”, this is sure to be an exciting evening of exceptional wind playing.
Previous holders of the Chamber Music Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music, the Ensemble have also been selected artists for Making Music, the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust, the Tillett Trust Young Artist Platform, the Tunnell Trust, and the Nicholas Yonge Society.
