STOTT + HOARE CHAMBER SERIES

Sublime one-hour afternoon chamber concerts in the beautiful St Mary’s Cathedral. 

Mendelssohn & Mustonen

Felix Mendelssohn loved to perform chamber music for his friends. His octet, like a small symphony, ranges from virtuosity to elegance, and dreaminess to brilliance. Watch the WASO string players move as one and listen to their musical conversations in this beautifully crafted chamber concert.

Mozart’s Masterpiece

Mozart’s Gran Partita is a masterpiece. An astonishing work for 13 virtuoso musicians written for winds and double bass, it featured in the 1984 film Amadeus and stands at the pinnacle of classical chamber music. Along with Telemann’s charming Duo, this program showcases WASO’s magnificent woodwind players.

Best of Baroque

Widely regarded as the finest music from the Baroque period, Bach’s Brandenburg Concerti are unsurprisingly popular. Concertmaster Giulio Plotino performs a glorious movement of Bach’s Partita followed by a thrilling concerto for four violins, and finally a sublime work from the ingenious Handel. This is a concert to leave you uplifted.
