Winter Journey

Rediscover Schubert’s Winterreise in this innovative adaptation by oboist Normand Forget! Acclaimed worldwide for the past ten years, this transcription for wind quintet, accordion and voice of Schubert’s cycle of 24 lieder setting texts by Wilhelm Müller offers a contemporary and multifaceted perspective on the work. A recording of this very version of Winterreise on the ATMA label by the Pentaèdre wind quintet, accordionist Joseph Petric and eminent tenor Christoph Prégardien won an OPUS Prize in 2008.

Bach: At the Heart of Music

In this concert centred around the world of  Johann Sebastian Bach, the 5 musicians of the Pentaèdre quintet brilliantly and dextrously demonstrate not only the full breadth of their technical prowess, but also the great variety of colours and atmospheres that the flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon can create when they let loose together! Works by György Ligeti and David Maslanka along with a work inspired by Bach complete this accessible and lively program!

As the Belle Époque drew to a close and the City of Light rose to become a teeming cultural landmark, between 1910 and 1913, Parisians witnessed the premieres of three major ballets by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, including Petrushka. Well known for its original arrangements, the Pentaèdre wind quintet invites you to enjoy a novel, reduced version for chamber music ensemble of this major work from the repertoire. Additionally, discover the poetic and colourful stylings of Canadian composer Tawnie Olson as exemplified in her work for wind quintet, specially composed for this program!
