Introduction
Written, as it is, for an ensemble without violins, Johannes Brahms’ Serenade No.2 is rarely performed but has long been on our programming wish-list and – with ‘no violins’ as the starting point for this concert – J.S Bach’s sixth Brandenburg Concerto is the perfect companion piece. The programme is completed with James MacMillan’s wind quintet ‘Untold’ which is scored for cor anglais rather than oboe.
