The All-Star SONOLUMINA WINDS will present masterpieces of works for winds by Jacques Ibert, Ludwig van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Beethoven Festival has gathered this sterling roster of fine wind players from around the country to form the Sonolumina Winds. The "Five Pieces" for Trio by Jacque Ibert is a collection of light, jaunty and dreamy works for oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, perfect for a Sunday afternoon. The Beethoven Sextet for Two Clarinets, Two French Horns, and Two Bassoons was written for this completely unique combination of wind instruments. The final work for the concert will be the famous Mozart Woodwind Serenade for Two Oboes, Two Clarinets, Two French Horns, and two Bassoons. During Mozart's time there it was practiced to write woodwind works to be performed outdoors by wind ensembles, and the style was taken to a new height in the wonderful compositions by Mozart.
