with
The Puffin Ensemble
A nine-piece
wind group
The Puffin Ensemble are popular wherever they perform;
their mixture of fun and virtuosity is irrestistible.
Their programme appealed to everyone:
Allegro con spirito from Octet-Partita in Eb Hummel
Serenade in C minor K388 Mozart
Ain’t misbehavin’ Fats Waller
The Teddy Bears’ Picnic John Bratton
Overture – The Barber of Seville Rossini
Petite Symphonie pour instruments a vent Gounod
The Jungle Puffin Sharman
The Pink Puffin Mancini
Stormy weather Arlen
The Puffin Ensemble has flocked together for ten years and their nesting
grounds are in East Anglia. Their varied calls include a flute, two oboes,
two clarinets, two horns, two bassoons and a contra bassoon
(a rather larger grumpier variety of Auk: fratercula contrarius).
