The members of the Azahar Ensemble all come from Spain - but what does that mean? Spain is more than just castanets, fandango and flamenco. The country consists of different regions with very different cultures, and with a corresponding panoramic view, the five musicians on flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon want to introduce themselves and their country in this night concert. Their program ranges from Catalonia to Galicia to Andalusia, from sacred music of the 16th century to chamber music of the mid-20th century. You can hear arrangements of folk songs, a fantasia after Domenico Scarlatti by Miquel Ramos, and we get to know two composers with the surname Turina, a grandfather and his grandson. Grandfather Joaquín pays homage to his birthplace Seville in his Opus 2, grandson José Luis has written a virtuoso wind quintet entitled Quinteto de Agua , and the Azahar Ensemble will do everything in its power to make the premiere of this entertaining piece a lavish sound festival.

Schwetzingen Castle

Ever the quintessential sad clown, Pierrot is the protagonist in Korngold’s charming short work written when the composer was only 11 years old. Then it’s the turn of the Orchestra’s Principal Clarinet Miquel Ramos Salvadó to take centre stage with the melancholy beauty and extraordinary lyricism of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto. A voyage into outer space comes next, with a 2019 work by this year's Composer in Focus Caroline Shaw. Finally, a 16th-century painter is the inspiration for Hindemith’s powerful symphony about the role of the artist in times of crisis
