An Evening of Octets and Serenades

Concerts for Craswall are delighted to offer an evening of music by the Harmonie. The programme’s central work will be Mozart’s Serenade No. 12 in C minor (“Nachtmusik”). Certainly the first really significant work written for the Harmonie, it is an extraordinary piece in many ways. Mozart reserved C minor for his most serious composition, and this work (K388) does not disappoint.

Other planned works include music by Dvorak, Schultz, Ibert and Krommer, as well as a contemporary arrangement of Mozart’s overture to the Marriage of Figaro.

The Craswall Wind Ensemble (2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons and 2 horns) is a group of talented players from London with a particular enthusiasm for chamber music. Many have been part of Concerts for Craswall performances in the past, both in chamber ensembles and orchestral performance.
