fascinating sound world of music for wind quintet and piano. We start with Francis Poulenc&#8217;s Sextet, a vibrant and witty piece filled with his characteristic charm and elegance. This work perfectly balances humour and nostalgia, creating a playful dialogue between the instruments that evoke the colourful spirit of early 20th-century Paris. Next is Albert Roussel&#8217;s Divertissement, a delightful and lively composition that captures the essence of French neoclassicism. With its rhythmic drive and sparkling melodies, this piece brings a sense of celebration and light-heartedness. Ludwig Thuille&#8217;s Sextet concludes the programme, a work that masterfully blends the lush, romantic textures of late 19th-century Germany with the clarity and structure of classical forms. Thuille&#8217;s lyrical melodies and rich harmonic language offer a fitting end to this exciting programme. Sextet! brings together homegrown SA talent in this performance to invigorate the local concert stage with this curious and popular combination of wind instruments and piano.<\/summary>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1962","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P5ulBY-vE","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1962"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1971,"href":"https:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1962\/revisions\/1971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
