On Saturday 16 January at 7.30pm at Huntingdon Hall, Worcester there will be a concert given by Chamber Winds, an ensemble of senior wind students from Cardiff’s Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. These fine young musicians can be heard on the brink of launching their professional careers in an evening of music by two great composers. They will perform a Haydn serenade, re-scored for wind instruments, as well as music from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, plus the première of Derek Smith’s Creation Suite based on Haydn’s great choral masterpiece. Composers often endorsed the re-scoring of their works to facilitate performance by other groups of instruments, and Josef Triebensee, a fine oboist and a contemporary of Mozart, wrote the transcription of music from Don Giovanni in 1788, three years before Mozart’s death. Malvern resident Derek Smith is a well-respected composer and arranger and his superbly crafted Creation Suite provides an opportunity to hear much of the wonderful music from Haydn’s Creation played by wind ensemble, a combination of instruments loved by Haydn himself. Tickets at £12 (students £6) can be purchased from the Worcester Live Box Office on 01905 611427 www.worcesterlive.co.uk The concert is supported by the GEMMA Classical Music Trust Regd Charity No. 1121090 Special offer for teachers - bring 3 students, and receive a free ticket for yourself

Jill Davies has spent most of her life immersed in music, from sitting under the piano while her mum gave lessons to taking up the ukulele a couple of years ago. She's an agent (mainly for singers) by day, has a personal record of going to 12 concerts in 3 days, and can't decide whether it's more fun to sing Elgar partsongs or play Gibbons viol consorts.
