Curated by Jelena Dirks, Principal Oboe, and Peter Henderson, Principal Keyboard.

Expect sea winds and bubbling streams as oboe and piano express the fluidity of wind and water. In Gilles Silvestrini’s etude, feel the breezes of Claude Monet’s windy day at the beach. The movement of fountains and springs can be heard in Maurice Ravel’s Jeux d’eaux (Water Games), a delightful four-hands piano composition by Cécile Chaminade, and the dazzling virtuosity of Camille Saint-Saëns’ Sonata for Oboe and Piano. Flute, clarinet, bassoon, and horn join in, concluding with Francis Poulenc’s overflowing Sextet.
