The Haffner Wind Ensemble is one of Britain’s leading chamber ensembles and one of the most established wind quintets in Britain. Each member of the ensemble is a chamber musician and a soloist as well as a principal of the Britten Sinfonia; in addition, all are experienced teachers in the UK and abroad. The breadth of their musical experience as individuals and their extensive work together in the Britten Sinfonia combine to create a secure and fluent ensemble, one which plays with freshness and vivacity and which excels not only in the classics of the wind repertoire but also in contemporary music.
The ensemble is regularly heard on BBC Radio 3, Classic FM and other broadcasting organisations and has toured extensively throughout the UK and overseas including appearances at major festivals such as Aldeburgh, Cheltenham, Bath, Stockholm and the Proms.

This year the festival welcomes back former artists-in-residence Garth Knox (viola, 2018), Nicholas Daniel (oboe, 2019) and Ben Goldschieder (horn, 2020) who will come together with Emily Hultmark (bassoon) and Elise Dabrowski (double bass) to form the first ever ‘Endangered Instrument Ensemble’ in a very special concert featuring specially-commissioned works by Daniel Kidane, Electra Perivolaris, Lisa Robertson and Garth Knox.

Orsino Ensemble at Two Moors Festival
2022-10-14 19:30 | All Saints’ Church, Dulverton, Bank Square, Dulverton, Somerset, TA22 9BU, United Kingdom
Programme:
Beethoven: Quintet in E Flat Major, Op. 71 (arr. Rechtman)
Reicha: Adagio for Cor Anglais and Wind Quartet in D Minor
Haas: Wind Quintet, Op. 10
Dvorák: Romance, Op. 11 for Violin and Wind Quintet (arr. Kay)
Janácek: Mládí
Presenting a typically playful yet thoughtful programme, Orsino Ensemble comprises the wind instrument super stars of their generation, and we are very fortunate to welcome them to the Festival. The programme opens with a rare chance to hear Beethoven’s youthful wind quintet, followed by a stunning arrangement of Dvorák’s Romance, originally for violin and orchestra. It then traces Dvorák’s lineage as Janácek’s friend and teacher, and his, in turn, to Pavel Haas, whose career was cut brutally short by the Holocaust.
Tickets: £30, £25, £15, £10, children 16yrs & under free with paying adult

Prom 37: Haydn, Vaughan Williams, Kaija Saariaho and Beethoven
From sunrise to high noon: this matinee concert from the Tyneside-based Royal Northern Sinfonia under its Principal Conductor Dinis Sousa begins with the sun rising over Haydn’s joyous early symphony. It ends with Beethoven cutting loose in sheer, unbuckled glee, in the rollercoaster finale of his brightest symphony. In between, the skies just gets brighter and more beautiful, as oboist Nicholas Daniel takes the solo spot in Vaughan Williams’s playful, pastoral Oboe Concerto – another anniversary salute to this great British master. Then violinist Maria Maria Wloszczowska is the soloist in Kaija Saariaho’s ravishing Vers toi qui es si loin – a wordless love song, adapted from the acclaimed opera L’amour de loin by one of today’s true sonic magicians.
