ABOUT
Step into the enchanting world of chamber music with a programme that highlights the brilliance and versatility of wind instruments and piano. The evening opens with Francis Poulenc’s Sextet, a lively and sophisticated work brimming with his signature wit and charm. Playfully blending humour with nostalgia, this piece evokes the vibrant energy of early 20th-century Paris.
Next, Albert Roussel’s Divertissement offers a delightful contrast with its rhythmic vitality and effervescent melodies, capturing the essence of French neoclassicism in a spirited and celebratory fashion.
Bringing the concert to a grand conclusion is Ludwig Thuille’s Sextet, a rich and expressive work that marries the lush, romantic textures of late 19th-century Germany with the clarity and poise of classical forms. Thuille’s sweeping melodies and intricate harmonies provide a powerful and fitting finale to the programme.
Sextet! unites outstanding South African musicians to bring this remarkable and rarely heard combination of wind instruments and piano to life, energizing the local concert scene with its unique and captivating sound.
