Sirocco Winds

Sirocco Winds play a selection of our favourite repertoire from a variety of styles, ranging from French classics to early folk songs to jazz and blues. The programme closes with a rarely performed quintet written by Scottish composer John Blackwood McEwen, and a stunning short piece by Peter Maxwell Davies as we say farewell.
