Beethoven and Richard Strauss take the stage in works for combinations of strings, woodwinds and brass.

Winds and strings come together in an evening of music rivaling the richness of the full orchestra. Beethoven’s youthful genius is on display in his septet for clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola, cello, and bass—a work so popular it almost gave him fits. This is perfectly paired with Richard Strauss’ tone poem Till Eulenspiegel, stripped to its core, somehow losing nothing, in an artful adaptation for only five instruments.
