Brass instruments – they are signals, they are celebration, they are revolution. When our solo brass players set out to perform chamber music, the format reaches its limits – in the best possible sense. Here, sonic splendour and a rich variety of timbres come together in the most confined of spaces, and each time one is amazed anew at how the trumpet, horn, trombone and tuba begin to shine when experienced as a small ensemble. It is precisely this radiance that led brass ensembles early on to explore music beyond their original repertoire: from keyboard works and vocal music to orchestral pieces. There is hardly anything that does not take on a new, surprising perspective in this golden glow. An energetic start to our chamber concert season – and an evening that demonstrates just how big a small ensemble can sound.
Works by Viktor Ewald, Jan Koetsier, Johann Sebastian Bach, John Cheetham and others.
