Like the warmth of a log fire on a frosty night, Schubert’s Winterreise Song Cycle is the glowing heart to this programme. The Ensemble perform miniatures from the cycle that tells the tale of a lovelorn wanderer against a wintery landscape.
Step into blustery winds and bright winter sun with Winter 1 and 2 from Vivaldi’s ever-popular The Four Seasons. Wander further into winter, crunch your boots on the freshly landed snow, with Mozart’s Flute Quartet in D, a melodic and sprightly piece written in the heart of winter in 1777.
A beloved holiday piece wraps up the evening in a gift-wrapped bow: Anderson’s Sleigh Ride evokes the joy of the holiday tradition.
You can look forward to these pieces and many more musical snowflakes to complete our winter landscape.
