The sound of the oboe is explored in this concert, performed by one of the finest musicians in the UK, Nicholas Daniel. Mozart’s Oboe Quartet is in effect a chamber concerto for the oboe, full of singable melodies and charm. This is set alongside a new work by German composer, Ulrich Kreppein, Schubert’s String Trio and Mozart’s Adagio. The programme is completed by Colin Matthews’ beautiful arrangement of Schumann’s haunting lament to the moon.

In Conversation – Ulrich Kreppein talks about his new work co-commissioned by Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall.
