In the early nineteenth century, chamber music for wind ensemble moved from private salons to public venues, elevating it from background party music to works for concert performance. Tonight we explore a new album of Beethoven’s original and arranged wind music from the time performed by the period wind ensemble, Boxwood & Brass. We’ll also hear songs from baritone Christopher Maltman accompanied by Joseph Middleton that reflect a narrative of a soldier at war, an album called The Soldier: From Severn to Somme.
