West Side Story / The Hexatonic’s concert

With one reed or two – the soft sound of the „wood”, i.e. woodwind instruments, is indispensable in orchestral music. Bringing together the related sounds of the oboe, the clarinet, the bassoon, and the saxophone, also has its deep tradition in chamber music. And what was not written for these instruments, can be arranged for them, thanks to the breadth of opportunities they offer. The hexatonic scale present in the name of the ensemble, i.e. that with six notes per octave, is also known as the blues scale, without which there would be no jazz. Hence the sentiment for music by Debussy and Ravel, in whose pieces a similar scale can be found. Not to mention the composing oeuvre of Leonard Bernstein, for whom jazz was as important an influence as the great European classics. While all these tropes may be traced down in the programme of the Hexatonic concert, one thing remains certain: a sound that caresses the ear.
