The Endler Concert Series is proud to present the Cape Town Philharmonic Wind Quintet on Sunday 28 October at 4:30pm in the Endler Hall, Stellenbosch.

The Cape Town Philharmonic Wind Quintet brings together Cape Town`s leading wind instrumentalists in a collaboration showcasing both new music and favourite classics of the wind quintet repertoire. Featuring CTPO principals Gabriele von Durckheim (flute), Daniel Prozesky (clarinet), Lisa White (oboe), Caroline Prozesky (French horn), and Simon Ball (bassoon). The programme includes Ibert’s Trois Pièces Brèves, Hindemith’s Kleine Kammermusik and Allan Stephenson’s Divertimento.

Versatile French composer, conductor, and music administrator Jacques Ibert’s brightly scored suite of brief movements shows him at his humorous, colourful and inventive best.  Prolific for wind instruments, his choice of the wind quintet proved to be an opportunity to show the ensemble’s rich soundscapes and colours.  German composer Paul Hindemith’s Kleine Kammermusik, a highlight of the 20^th century wind quintet repertoire, is playful and lively, and the smallest ensemble work in a “chamber music” series of eight works, and the wind quintet was the top choice! Enjoy the work’s strong rhythmic motion, humour and parody, and its exploitation of the virtuoso and tonal possibilities of the wind quintet formation. British composer Allan Stephenson, now living in Cape Town, is well known to South African audiences. His music has been described as “unashamedly listener friendly, lyrical, and with deeply-felt expression.” Other works on the programme include Onslow’s Wind Quintet Op. 81 and Ligeti’s 6 Bagatelles for wind quintet.

Tickets for R140 (regular) and R100 (students and pensioners) are available now through Computicket and at the door. For more information contact Fiona Grayer at concerts@sun.ac.za or 021 808 2358.
