Programme
Overview
Join the Britten Oboe Quartet for a captivating lunchtime recital. Revel in the elegance of Mozart’s Oboe Quartet K.370, the mystery of Britten’s early Phantasy, Jacqueline Shave’s haunting folk settings, and the premiere of a new work by Huw Watkins.Founded by principal oboist Nicholas Daniel with colleagues from the Britten Sinfonia, the Britten Oboe Quartet brings imaginative programming and intuitive ensemble playing to the fore. The recital opens with Mozart’s Oboe Quartet K.370, its poised elegance articulated with graceful precision, then journeys through Britten’s early Phantasy, where enigmatic motifs and shadowy harmonies unfold in striking mystery. Jacqueline Shave’s haunting arrangements of traditional tunes evoke a timeless, folkloric atmosphere before the programme culminates in the world premiere of a commission by Huw Watkins, a work that bridges past and present. With its blend of classical refinement and contemporary vitality, this lunchtime concert offers a transcendent musical dialogue infused with warmth, depth, and mutual understanding.
