Wind septet

Using the two quartets Aulodia and A Piacere, Jean-Pierre Caens decided to gather them in order to associate the color of the reeds with the dynamism of the saxophones (four saxophones, plus an oboe, a clarinet and a bassoon), for a program "From Europe to New York".

The opening "La cerenentola" by G. Rossini, the "Slavonic dances" by Anton Dvorak, the "Spanish miniatures" by Joaquim Turina, the "Saudades" by Darius Milhaud and the famous suite of "West Side Story" by Leonard Bernstein are part of the program, such as some more contemporary scores and some orders (F.Rossé, P.A.Charpy…).
