North Wind
The quintet's long ambition of playing the Spohr Nonet for wind quintet and strings was fulfilled. Violin, viola and double bass players from Newcastle University, with Geoff Wright from Orchestra North East joined us in the second half. The concert opened with Danzi's Quintet in G minor, followed by 2 short pieces by Fritz Kreisler and Paul Patterson's Westerley Winds based on 4 west country folk tunes. This concert was part of the 'Yellow Door Music series to be held at the church - www.yellowdoormusic.co.uk.
Proceeds of the concert were donated to Amnesty International.
