Dukas (arr Kerry Camden) |
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice |

Paul Patterson |
Three Little Pigs Op.92 |
For its annual visit the RCM Wind Ensemble brings one of the most familiar orchestral works in a sparkling arrangement for winds alone. Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a remarkable character piece, made famous in Disney’s Fantasia. Paths and Labyrinths is a fascinating piece for double reed instruments – oboes and bassoons – while Paul Patterson’s musical version of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhyme will round off the concert with humorous and surprising turns of phrase. |
