Piazza Leon Battista Alberti comes back to life for Open. The Midtvest ensemble woodwind quintet will lead the audience in a concert of great successes alongside Beethoven and Gade. Success was in fact what quickly welcomed Beethoven’s Septet, right from the first performances, for which the composer himself recommended a transcription for wind quintet. This is followed by Gade’s Tango Jalousie, composed in 1925 and which has also remained famous to this day.
