Poulenc the Poet

04/04/2013 from 19:30 to 21:00

Poulenc and Darius Milhaud were members of ‘Les Six' a group of early 20th century French composers, who worked in Montparnasse and challenged the status quo of European classical music. Poulenc was particularly fond of woodwind instruments and his chamber music is full of clarity, simplicity, and grace, while Milhaud brought a natural elegance and charm to his woodwind compositions, combined with an incredible harmonic sophistication.

Our Principal Conductor Michael Collins conducts as well as performing as soloist on both the clarinet and piano, alongside City of London Sinfonia woodwind principals.
