George Caird Oboe Quartet
By George Caird on June 18, 2024 in CHAMBER MUSIC, George Caird Oboe QuartetI am looking forward to our concert with the Caird Oboe Quartet in the Ludlow Assembly Rooms on Wedensday 19 June. This will be part of the Assembly Rooms new partnership with the Ludlow Music Society which has promoted chamber music in Ludlow for more than 30 years. Having already played for the Society some years ago, it is a privilage to be making a return visit. And it’s great to be playing again with Simon Blendis, Douglas Paterson and Jane Salmon who played together for so many years in the Schubert Ensemble.
We are playing three quartets: the C major Mozart (K285b) that has the Theme and Variations movement from Mozart’s Gran Partita, begins the evening. We will end the first half with the E.J. Moeran Fantasy Quartet, which is included in our An English Renaissance recording, and we end the concert, naturally, with the Mozart F major Quartet, K370.
Between these, I will be performing Britten’s Six Metamorphoses after Ovid for solo oboe – a work that I have enjoyed so much for many years. And Simon, Douglas and Jane will be playing Beethoven’s String Trio in G major, Op 9 No 1, one of the greatest from the string trio repertoire.
