Musicians from Chineke! return to the Pittville Pump Room. Journeying across broad musical terrain, they take you from Ligeti’s lively and irreverent bagatelles and Ravel’s expansive harmonies to the American soundworlds of William Grant Still and Valerie Coleman.

Cheltenham Festival: Chineke! Wind Quintet

The Chineke! Wind Quintet comprises players of the Chineke! Orchestra and the ensemble is delighted to bring a varied programme of wind repertoire to the Shaldon Festival. Highlights include the music of African-American composers William Grant Still (Summerland, 1935) and Valerie Coleman (Red Clay & Mississippi Delta, 2016). Both works speak to the Black experience in the American South, and are presented alongside music from Gyorgy Ligeti, Paul Hindemith, Maurice Ravel.

Shaldon Festival: Chineke! Wind Quintet

The second concert of Season VIII features LA Opera Orchestra Principal Oboe Leslie Reed, pianist Edith Orloff, violinists Roger Wilkie and Ana Landauer, violist Shawn Mann and cellist John Walz in a recital program of favorite works that reflect the lyric side of the oboe, ranging from the pastoral to folk traditions, including works inspired by famous paintings - projections of which will be displayed during the performance.
