About this event

Richard Strauss was just 20 when he composed his Suite 鈥� and steeped in the conservative musical traditions of his horn-player father, who revered Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven above all. It鈥檚 a legacy present here in the young Strauss鈥檚 music, but developed and transformed into something altogether more rich and strange.

Clarinettist Michael Collins and his ensemble London Winds set Strauss and his favourite composer, Mozart, side by side, presenting their very different takes on the 18th-century 鈥楬armonie鈥� ensemble of wind instruments, and revealing the early seeds of Strauss鈥檚 signature lyricism that would eventually flower in Der Rosenkavalier.
