An eclectic mix of works mostly starring the horn begins our matinee concerts. The first of two Mozart pieces new to the Festival, the horn quintet, precedes a beautiful Britten song for tenor, horn and piano. Two pieces of Schubert take us into a world premier - Nicholas Korth’s work for tenor, horn, string quartet and keyboard was commissioned by the London Chamber Orchestra and the Guild of Horn Players in 2020.
