Summary
François Leleux joins the CBSO woodwind section at the CBSO Centre to perform serenades by Gounod, Strauss, and Dvořák.
Why it's fantastic
This hour-long lunchtime performance swaps a full orchestra for the intimate, conversational charm of a woodwind ensemble. You will hear the gentle melodies that made Dvořák famous alongside a youthful Strauss serenade, all led by one of the finest oboe players performing today.
