Assai Blaaskwintet: Nordic Lights - Music from the Hoge Noorden

The ASSAI wind quintet was born from a shared passion of five wind players from symphoniaASSAI, who wanted to explore and deepen the richness of chamber music. This ensemble brings a unique timbre and dynamics, in which the individual voices of the woodwinds and brass merge into a harmonious whole. 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 virtuoso passages, sweeping melodies, and subtle timbres, the works reflect the unique atmosphere of the high north: the endless summer nights, the harsh winters, and the soothing power of pristine 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 coherent picture of Scandinavian music culture.
