Nicolo Foron conducts the LSO Wind Ensemble in works by Richard Strauss and Jonathan Dove.

Nicolo Foron conducts the LSO Wind Ensemble in Strauss's Serenade in E flat, Op 7, and Suite for 13 wind instruments in B flat, Op 4, and in Jonathan Dove's Figures in the Garden.

Al Ryan presents the first a series of concerts delving into the intimate chamber music of Richard Strauss and his contemporaries.  Today, the LSO Wind Ensemble are conducted by Nicolo Foron, who recently won the LSO Donatella Flick Conducting Competition, in two of Strauss’s most loved works for winds.  Strauss was inspired by Mozart’s wind writing as is Jonathan Dove, whose Figures in the Garden contain echoes of The Marriage of Figaro.
