Information - Ipswich Chamber Music Society – New London Chamber Ensemble
This concert centres around the music of Danish composer Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) and includes one of his best-known works, the Wind Quintet. Darius Milhaud and Francis Poulenc were both members of ‘Les Six’, an informal group of mostly French composers writing in the so-called Neoclassical style that was fashionable in the 1920’s and 30’s. Beethoven’s delightful Quintet for Piano and Winds may have been inspired by Mozart’s (K. 452) for the same forces and in the same key.
The New London Chamber Ensemble (newlondonchamberensemble.co.uk) describe themselves as “a wind quintet with a difference” and recently celebrated their 25th anniversary. Over the years they have collaborated with many eminent musicians, and for this concert are joined by the pianist and accompanist Michael Dussek.
