Hilmar Hauer (trumpet) and Nick Gleed (organ) Hilmar Hauer and Nicholas Gleed will perform a varied selection of music for trumpet and organ including Petr Eben's Okna. Eben says of Okna (‘Windows’) that the listener may take the title to represent windows as the source of light. However, for him this cycle has deeper significance, from the impact on him of seeing pictures of Marc Chagall’s stained-glass windows, each of which has its composition dominated by a particular colour.
