I am now just beginning a return to Munich from 4 to 13 September for the ARD Competition for Wind Quintets. As an ardent quintet player, this will be a wonderful opportunity to hear some of the top ensembles. Having enjoyed two oboe competitions and one flute competition in the past, it will be a new experience to be involved in Chamber Music. I look forward to meeting a great jury – some old friends and some new.
