- **Event Description**: The Free State Symphony Orchestra invites audiences to A Breath of Winds, an evening celebrating the expressive power and brilliance of the woodwind family.

Under the baton of acclaimed Austrian-Italian conductor Guido Mancusi, the concert features the finalists of the International Woodwind Competition as soloists. Following several days of performances before an international jury, these outstanding South African and international musicians will take centre stage with the FSSO.

The programme opens with Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, a gripping work filled with dramatic tension, urgent energy and powerful contrasts. The competition finalists will then showcase the lyrical beauty, versatility and virtuosity of the woodwind family in performances with the orchestra.

Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 brings the concert to an elegant and exhilarating conclusion. From its majestic opening to its spirited finale, the symphony combines warmth, grace and buoyant energy, with Mozart’s rich writing for woodwinds making it a fitting conclusion to the evening.
