About the Performance
Winds return to the stage in a performance of light and airy works featuring a series of Serenades from Mozart, Dvořák, and Strauss. The first two movements of Mendelssohn’s Nocturno for Winds, a chamber work consisting of 11 wind players, opens the episode. French composer Darius Milhaud wrote the Little Symphony No. 5, a chamber piece for winds with a distinctive jazz-inspired modality.
