• Franz Danzi’s “Quintet in F Major,” movements 1 and 3
• Antonio Soler’s “Sonata No. 89”
• György Ligeti’s “Sechs Bagatellen für Bläserquintett,” movement I
• Edvard Grieg’s “Peer Gynt: Four Pieces: Solveig’s Song”
• Gustav Holst’s “March” from his “Second Suite in F”
• Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Introduction and the Lion’s Royal March” from his “Carnival of the Animals”
• Erik Satie’s “Sonatine Bureaucratique”
• Claude Debussy’s “Minstrels,” “La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin” (“Girl With the Flaxen Hair”), and “Golliwogg’s Cake-Walk” from his “Suite No. 1”
• Malcolm Arnold’s “Three Shanties,” movement 1

The concert included an intermission and many encores to a sometimes enthusiastic audience including a well-dressed poodle.
