'Music Fit for a King' presents exquisite music by Mozart and Boccherini, two of the most celebrated composers from the 'golden age' of Classical music, and friends who both counted King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia as their patron. While Mozart's enduring fame today overshadows that of his Italian colleague, through his flute quintets, Boccherini reveals himself a master of descriptive and vividly evocative music. Celebrating the release of Sally Walker and Friends’ new album, ‘Boccherini: Chamber works for flute’ (AVIE), we welcome you to experience the heart-quickening pleasures of this exciting music in the masterful hands of extraordinary flautist, Sally Walker and an all-star ensemble drawn from Adelaide's finest musicians.
Featuring Elizabeth Layton and Alison Rayner (violins), Stephen King (viola), Thomas Marlin (cello), Sally Walker (flute), Celia Craig (oboe), Mark Gaydon (bassoon), Robert Nairn (double bass), Sarah Barnett (horn).
