ABOUT

Get ready for a romantic afternoon of intimate chamber music written for oboe and piano. Fans of romantic-era French composer Gaubert and German composer Widor will be delighted with the especially beautiful, hand-picked programme. Jessica West's (piano) delicate touch and Carin Bam's (Oboe) sweetly lyrical melodies will serenade you into a peaceful afternoon. So grab a glass of wine and tune in from your most comfortable couch!
