Eloquent Cosmopolitan

[Performance Introduction] 'Eloquent Cosmopolitans' is a concert that brings together woodwind works by three composers from different countries and eras on a single stage. French elegant Romanticism, the melodies and rhythms of Czech Moravia, and the sophisticated experimental spirit of Hungarian avant-garde each possess distinct characteristics, yet flow naturally together under the format of a woodwind quintet. Five musicians who have studied in various countries and experienced different musical environments move freely among these works, demonstrating how their diverse backgrounds create a new balance within a single ensemble. We aim to convey to the audience the moment when music from different backgrounds naturally blends together on one stage. [PROGRAM] * P. Taffanel - Quintette in G Minor * P. Haas - Quintet for Winds, Op.10 * G. Ligeti - 6 Bagatelles
