Let yourself be carried away to the mystical and atmospheric landscapes of Scandinavia with Nordic Nights, an enchanting program for woodwind quintet. This repertoire brings the rich tradition of Northern European composers to life, from the romanticism of Norway to the expressive modernity of Finland and Sweden. With virtuosic passages, sweeping melodies, and subtle sound colors, the works reflect the unique atmosphere of the far north: the endless summer nights, the harsh winters, and the soothing power of untouched nature. The program contains both arrangements of classical masterpieces and original compositions for woodwind quintet, creating a fascinating journey through time, style, and expression. Each piece highlights the specific tone of its country and time, while the whole gives a cohesive picture of Scandinavian musical culture. instrumentation wind quintet | flute | oboe | clarinet | horn | bassoon
