To start the 2009 season the Auckland Chamber Orchestra led by director Peter Scholes and concertmaster Dianna Cochrane present a concert of glorious chamber music. The virtuoso Summer Music by American composer Samuel Barber opens the programme. This jazzy piece for wind quintet was written by the composer of the famous Adagio for Strings and is full of nostalgic and passionate writing. The Sextet by Poulenc juxtaposes French lyricism with comic twists and is musical entertainment at its best. The main work of the concert is the Spohr Nonet. The nine instruments blend together to create beautiful harmonies which accompany the romantic melodies by this popular composer. The concert ends end with one of the great musical dilemmas - the mysterious talent of P D Q Bach.
