• The cello world of Jacques Offenbach and David Popper

Some of Dell’Arte’s cellists and their pianist come together to play music by two composers who come from similar backgrounds as both of their fathers were Synagogue cantors. Another unusual but accessible lunchtime concert for you.

• Till Eulenspiegel

A performance of Grotesque musicale: Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche (Opus 48) by Richard Strauss is performed here in a lively arrangement by Franz Hasenoerhrl for violin, clarinet, horn, bassoon and contrabass.

A moment of relaxation with Franz Berwald’s lovely septet for strings and winds makes a perfect antidote.
