Fall in love with one of the most lyrical families in the orchestra. Our woodwind players will soar through melodies from Strauss and Mozart, bringing you up close and personal to the sounds of these mellow and expressive instruments. MSO Principal Oboe Johannes Grosso and Principal Clarinet David Thomas will direct and perform this concert alongside their fellow wind and horn specialists, placing the best of chamber music in the best of hands. Already one of Mozart’s most popular pieces, Gran Partita was composed in the 1780s but enjoyed a renewed burst of fame in the 1980s when it featured in the film Amadeus. Richard Strauss modelled his own Wind Sonatina on classic works like this one, which influenced his new style for a new generation. Hear both of these intimate pieces performed in the Melbourne Recital Centre – one of the standout chamber music venues of the world.
