Date
Sunday 7 February 2016, 3.00pm - 5.00pm

Wind Quintet from Northern Chamber Orchestra: Amina Hussain (flute) Anna Cooper (oboe) Elizabeth Jordan (clarinet) Naomi Atherton (French horn) Rachel Whibley (bassoon) with Daniel Gordon (piano)

The wind soloists of the Northern Chamber Orchestra are joined by Leeds University's own Daniel Gordon on piano in a programme which includes two of the favourites in the chamber repertoire for both wind players and pianists.
Mozart wrote in a letter to his father of the Quintet in E flat major K.452 ''I consider it to be the best thing I have ever written in my life". Praise indeed as he had already achieved much by the age of 28 when it was written.
Poulenc's Sextet was written between the two world wars and, while exuding his Gallic wit, also contains a good deal of emotional depth.
