Atéa Wind Quintet

The Atéa Quintet is the foremost British Wind Quintet of their generation. Internationally acclaimed, they recently became double prize winners at the 2015 Karl Nielsen International Chamber Music Competition in Denmark. As the Associate Ensemble in Residence at the Birmingham Conservatoire and Quintet in Residence at the Purcell School, they mentor some of the finest up and coming musicians in the country.
Since it’s formation in 2009, the Atéa Quintet has performed in some of the finest halls in the world. Highlights include a critically acclaimed Friday night recital at the Wigmore Hall, performances at the Cheltenham, Brighton and Lake District Summer Festivals and concerts in St Martin in the Fields, Bridgewater Hall and St Johns Smith Square. Recent seasons have included a tour to Scotland, the Czech Republic and a residency at the Two Moors Festival.
Brought together by their communal love of wind chamber music, members of the Atéa Quintet have individually received several prizes in international competitions and played with all of the country’s leading orchestras. The Quintet is eternally grateful for the support that they have received from the Tunnell Trust, Kirckman Concert Society, New Dots and Live Music Now. They are looking forward to a tour of Japan in 2017 as well as many other recitals all around the world.

Our concert begins with Zemlinsky's Humoreske. The quintet here are the Zoar Ensemble:
Eugène Bozza's Trois pièces pour une musique de nuit are played here by the Ensemble Corrélatif:
Next follows a lovely arrangement of Poulenc's first Novelette, by Geoffrey Emerson. The performers are Sirocco Winds, rehearsing in Renfield St Stephens, Glasgow.
The three movements were originally written for piano solo. On the right you can listen to Jocelyn Freeman playing all three Novelettes, at a concert in the Weston Hall of the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff.
While the first two Novelettes were written in 1927 and 1928, Poulenc wrote the third in 1958-59.
