The oboe performance begins with Vivaldi’s Oboe Concerto in D minor, RV 454, a masterful display of Baroque elegance and virtuosity. Britten’s Pan from Six Metamorphoses after Ovid follows, evoking a haunting and mythical presence. Marina Dranishnikova’s Poem for Oboe and Piano unfolds as an intimate and poignant conversation between the instruments, while Sancan’s Sonatine closes the programme with a delightful fusion of French refinement and whimsical charm.
