Sonoran Winds 2023
November 19, 2023 @ 3:00 pm
This program by the Sonoran Winds—comprised of principal players of Arizona Philharmonic—includes four works, beginning with one of the quintets of Anton Reicha. These early 19th-century pieces played an important role in popularizing the woodwind quintet as an ensemble. Next is a contemporary work, the colorful Quintet for Winds by Robert Muczyinski. The most recent work on the program, the Four Bagatelles of Andrey Rubtsov, is a light, enjoyable work with several flashes of humor. To close, we have the Early Hungarian Dances of Ferenc Farkas, witty arrangements of 17th-century courtly dances.
