English Chamber Orchestra with François Leleux 19:30 QUEEN ELIZABETH HALL, LONDON The Oboist Entertains: François Leleux interprets Mozart. Austria, Poland, Italy: oboe virtuoso François Leleux explores them all, in irresistible style, with the English Chamber Orchestra.
The young Mozart was a born entertainer. And that’s just as well, because so is François Leleux – conductor, communicator and oboist extraordinaire. ‘Leleux is a remarkably charismatic, flamboyant performer, matching immaculate technique with a dazzingly vivid identification with his music’, writes one reviewer.
The Arts Desk enthused about his ‘outsize charisma and musicianship’.
