Summary
Members of the CBSO Woodwind Ensemble play various works for wind instruments at Birmingham’s Botanical Gardens, featuring soloists including Emmet Byrne, Rachael Pankhurst and Oliver Janes.
Why it's fantastic
Escape the concert hall for an afternoon among the glasshouses and greenery, where eight musicians showcase the distinct, reedy textures of the woodwind family. This relaxed outdoor setting offers a rare chance to hear how oboes, clarinets, and bassoons blend together without the weight of a full string section.
