The Hillcrest Wind Ensemble (HWE) welcomes special guests, the Amadeus Ensemblet of Copenhagen, Denmark, Friday Oct. 18. at the First Unitarian Church, 4100 Front Street in San Diego at 7 p.m. The two ensembles will share the stage for an evening of classical wind music. The concert will open with two pieces from the Hillcrest Wind Ensemble, and then the 16-piece Amadeus Ensemblet will play the bulk of the concert including Mozart’s Serenade No. 10, Gran Partita.
Being one of the most important classical wind pieces, the Danish group respectfully borrowed the composer’s name. The two groups will combine for the final portion of the concert. The Ensemblet was founded in 1993 and is led by Klaus Tönshoff. With an extensive music background Tönshoff is also an accomplished clarinetist, playing in some of the finest orchestras in Denmark. The group will finish their tour of Southern California here in San Diego.
General admission is $15 and advance tickets are available at The Windsmith, 3875 Granada Ave. in North Park or from any band member. For more information or group pricing for 10 or more, call 619-692-2077 ext. 814. hillcrestwindensemble.com
