Bassoonist

Pictures at an Exhibition, originally composed for piano, gained worldwide recognition through Maurice Ravel's brilliant orchestration, which transformed Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky's masterpiece. This festive pre-Christmas concert presents a fresh interpretation of this iconic work arranged for wind quintet.

Rimsky-Korsakov. Ravel. Mussorgsky

The Professed House, Prague

The Prague Philharmonia Wind Quintet is the only representative of the wind quintet in this season. The repertoire for this combination of instruments is somewhat limited, but it is possible to find inspiration in folk music in it as well. This is evidenced by Václav Trojan’s Wind Quintet, Op. 8, which mentions “Folk Songs” in its subtitle
