Award-winner wind quintet in open rehearsal

​

10-11 September 2022

​

This is something slightly different for us. Ensemble Renard are an award-winning wind quintet with a growing reputation: this year’s calendar sees them performing at festivals in France, Scotland and Wales. From Gershwin to Knussen – via Mozart - each piece they play demonstrates the kaleidoscopic versatility of the ensemble.

​

Some of you may have come to this fabulous wind quintet’s performance at All Saints in 2019. This time we aren’t running a formal concert: instead there will be a chance to pop in at your leisure and see them in an informal setting as they go through their paces and polish up their repertoire. Over the weekend of 10-11 September they’ll be in the church late on Saturday morning, all Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

​

There will be no admission charge for this event but donations on the day will be appreciated: it’s also the weekend of the annual “Ride and Stride” fundraiser for the Northamptonshire Historic Churches Trust.

​

Recently the quintet have heard that they have won a place on the prestigious Britten Pears Young Artist Programme which means they’ll be in residence in Aldeburgh next spring. 

​

What’s more, on August 12th the ensemble appeared live on BBC Radio 3’s “In Tune”. This recording will be available on BBC Sounds for a few weeks; the Renard feature appears about 75 minutes into the broadcast.
