In our concert, we are preparing with a selection of music written or arranged for wind quintets, and a taste of the diverse world of harp and flute, as well as, harp and cello duos. In a slightly unconventional move, our audience can hear shorter works, each featuring a distinctive musical style and character - just like the unique costumes of a carnival.

Continuing the theme of our jubilee season, we will not be left without a poem, and we will give examples of the playfulness of words in Endre Tóth's selection.
