| These concerts will present a variety of music with a focus on flute and horn music. Yes, believe it or not, there are pieces written for that combination that are not transcriptions! Some are by Franz Joseph Haydn, and some are by Johann Schwegler. In addition, The OMNI Ensemble wlll perform the Sinfonia Concertante in D major, K. 448 by Mozart, (which is a transcription!) transcribed for two flutes and piano by Robert Stallman. Continuing in their 26th year at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, the OMNI Ensemble performs concerts of enormous variety all designed to provide their audience with a musical diversity not ordinarily encountered by one chamber music group. Throughout the season they perform in the recently renovted recital hall at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in Brooklyn. This season marks the beginning of our 26th season of concerts at the College of Staten. Tickets for the Brooklyn cncerts are $15.00, $10.00 for students and senior citizens.
