This concert explores the repertoire written for instruments that are almost never heard playing alone. These works make use of a wide palette of sounds and special techniques unique to each solo instrument, allowing the composers and performers enormous expressive freedom. When you play alone, you never need to compromise!
You will hear J.S. Bach’s breathtakingly beautiful Sonata in A Minor for Violin Alone, C.P.E. Bach’s Sonata for Flute Solo, Divertissement Aspenois written by Victor Babin as a loving tribute to the clarinet, and two of Britten’s greatest works: Six Metamorphoses After Ovid for oboe and Cello Suite No. 1, a monumental work dedicated to Mstislav Rostropovich.
