Satire Satie
In Satire Satie, everything revolves around one of Satie's most remarkable masterpieces: Parade, a notorious "succès de scandale" in French music history. Satie flirts with the allure of nonsense and bad taste, but above all, showcases his musical humor. The masterpieces of Poulenc and Stravinsky join in the festive French sound orgy of the 1920s.
The duke story
As a common thread in The Duke Story, the music of Duke Ellington (1899-1974) resounds. Edward Kennedy 'Duke' Ellington embodied jazz like no other. He gained fame as a pianist and bandleader for several decades and composed an extensive repertoire. In combination with the aforementioned classical works, a selection of well-known and lesser-known tunes by Ellington is arranged for wind ensemble and piano.
