The Cambini Quintet is dedicated to exploring the rich repertoire of Classical and Romantic chamber music for woodwinds, with a special focus on the combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and French horn, known as the “Wind Quintet.” The ensemble is named after Giovanni Cambini (1746~1825), who composed the first known works for this grouping, published in 1802.

Concerts by the Cambini Quintet draw exclusively from this enjoyable but neglected repertoire, which includes a wealth of superb works from the time of Mozart through to the full flowering of the French and German late-Romantics, revealing the warm sonority and varied tonal textures of the wind quintet.

This programme presents works by Franz Danzi (1763~1826), his second set of wind quintets, op.67. Brimming with joyful melodic inventiveness, these pieces explore the full range of textures and timbres found in this entertaining woodwind ensemble. Artists are Emily Gunson (flute), Esther Lee (oboe), Clare Waters (clarinet), Natalya Czernicziw (bassoon) & Tahlia Denn (French horn).
