Watch This Space | Stefan Schilli and the BRSO Academy
BRSO solo oboist Stefan Schilli has been a Friend of the Academy for many years and is wholeheartedly committed to the Academy’s up-and-coming professional musicians. With his program for this Watch-This-Space concert, he not only wants to support the scholarship recipients, but also specifically challenge them – for instance with Mozart’s great serenade for winds, the Gran Partita, whose Adagio is also one of the most beautiful that Mozart ever wrote. Ligeti himself considered the Ten Pieces for Wind Quintet to be “miniature concertos” in which the individual instrumentalists are showcased in particularly striking ways. This is also the case with Bach, where there is an equal juxtaposition of musical lines with different timbres and characteristics.
