An instrument that is usually well hidden in the orchestra – and a couple of composers that history had forgotten: this concert offers new discoveries and hidden gems.

In Jolivet's fantastic bassoon concert, we get to hear Aarhus Symphony Orchestra's solo bassoonist, Maksim Karpinskii, unfold. And there will be plenty of opportunity for that: Jolivet's bassoon concerto is not just one of the most difficult written for the instrument – ​​it is also one of the best wind concertos of the 20th century.

The Ancient Greeks believed that the flute was the oldest of all musical instruments, created by the god Pan himself. Debussy’s retelling of that myth is at the heart of this ravishing recital from the Orchestra’s flautist Helen Wilson: an evening of magical melody and wondrous new sounds.
