The Galliard Ensemble join together with Sam Haywood to present to you a beautiful collection of music for winds and piano. The Mozart Quintet starts our journey, this being the first time piano and wind were coupled together in a chamber music setting, followed by the luxurious Thuille Sextet, and finishing with Poulenc’s effervescent Trio.
