Rémy Ballot and OUO Solo Players - Bruckner: String Quintet, Mathilde Kralik: Nonet
Following their successful chamber ensemble programme of Mozart and Strauss last January, violinist and conductor Rémy Ballot is joined by a chamber ensemble drawn from members of OUO to give a concert that presents Bruckner’s resplendent String Quintet alongside the work of his student, Mathilde Kralik. Kralik’s Nonet is scored for the rare combination of clarinet, bassoon, two horns, string quartet and piano.
A Celebration with Shesh Besh
Bringing together Jewish musicians from the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra with Arab musicians from northern Israel, Shesh Besh creates a distinctive and captivating sound, weaving Western classical music together with the rich musical traditions of the Middle East. But it is what happens between the musicians, as much as the music itself, that makes this ensemble so remarkable.
