Music by Anton Wunderer for horn quartet  

Anton Wunderer (1850–1906) was a Viennese hornist, conductor, accompanist and composer. He worked as a hornist at the Warsaw Opera and as a conductor at the Vienna Court Opera. Wunderer composed marches, waltzes and polkas for horn quartet, which is why he has been called the Johann Strauss of the horn quartet.

In this concert, the programme is decided by the audience, and the threshold for engaging with the musicians is low! Enjoy evergreens and light classical pieces performed on flute and bassoon, as chosen by the audience. The duo wants to encourage interaction with other locals, also through music, and what better place to do that than a library?
