Whilst studying she has been fortunate enough to perform some excellent repertoire with leading conductors, and has greatly enjoyed forming and working with her woodwind quintet.

The five members of Cavendish Winds come to us today after a morning performing for the pupils at Leatherhead Trinity School. We hope to raise enough money today to fund both the lunchtime concert and the work with the School. |
This is the fourth time LCAS Music on Thursdays has engaged in this outreach work. It is a worthwhile project that our Trustees and our audience of music-lovers are keen to develop.
We are extremely grateful for financial support for the project given by Julie West Solicitor and by a former pupil of the Poplar Road School, one of the schools that merged to form Leatherhead Trinity.

Next we hear Franz Danzi's Wind Quintet No 2 in G minor - the earliest work in today's programme. The musicians in this 2016 recording are the Veits Quintet : Sunghyun cho, flute, Kyeong Ham, oboe, Ricardo Silva, horn, Rie Koyama, bassoon, and Han Kim, clarinet. |

The claim to be THE French Wind Quintet is a big one. However, when it comes from five principals of the Orchestre National de France and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France the claim is well merited ! And yes, they are all principals in both orchestras. So it is that we hear Philippe Bernold, flute, Olivier Doise, oboe, Patrick Messina, clarinet, Julien Hardy, bassoon, and Hervé Joulain, horn, with the orchestral version of
Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin. This wind arrangement is by American horn player Mason Jones who set the four movements of Ravel's orchestral suite (the piano original has six movements). |
Each movement of Le Tombeau de Couperin is dedicated to the memory of different friends of Ravel.
You can read more on the work and the dedications on wikipedia.
