On Friday 24 February, as part of our Spring in Venice Season and WNO’s Spring Residency, RWCMD welcomes Artists of WNO: The Brass Ensemble.
Brass players from Welsh National Opera will be joined by RWCMD students currently on the WNO Orchestral Placement Scheme in a programme that packed with emotions, from rousing feelings of power to impressively haunting atmospheres. The concert marks 400 years since the death of Giovanni Gabrieli with a short work that was almost certainly composed to be played in Saint Mark’s Basilica in Venice. The programme also includes a version for brass of Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky, celebrated for his inventiveness and variety.
The week-long residency, which celebrates the great artists of Welsh National Opera whilst placing a spotlight on the next generation of young artists, also features collaborations between WNO and RWCMD string players, and with musicians from the National Opera Studio
