Orsino Ensemble – Wigmore Hall

Robert Schumann: Kinderszenen Op. 15 (arranged by Hans Abrahamsen)
Pavel Haas: Wind Quintet Op.10
Ludwig van Beethoven: Quintet in E flat Op. 71 (arranged by Mordechai Rechtman)

Since its foundation in 2018 by flautist Adam Walker, the Orsino Ensemble has explored the often untapped wealth of chamber music for wind ensemble. The group returns to Wigmore Hall with a programme built around the Wind Quintet written in 1929 by Pavel Haas, a four-movement work spiced with its young Czech composer’s tangy melodies.
