Woodwind quartets have wrongly tended to be overshadowed by quintets. Plenty of works have been composed for this four-player line-up, but they are not often heard in concert. The FRSO’s solo oboist Kyeong Ham has been doing some research and come up with quartets by Boris Blacher, Jean-Michel Damase and others. Kyeong promises that the four players will all be throwing themselves 100% into the performance. Hence the title “quatrocientos” meaning 400.
