Sarah Walker introduces music for winds, performed by the Haffner Ensemble within the Georgian splendour of the Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham.

They are joined by pianist Charles Owen to perform music by Beethoven that pitches a flamboyant piano part alongside richly inventive writing for oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon.
