This instrumental ensemble, with flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn, brings together the “core” wind instruments from a symphony orchestra. Each of the instruments has its own “musical voice” which provides opportunities for varied musical expression. This program will include music from varied eras and cultures. Of particular note are the “original” quintet pieces by Shostakovich and Eric Ewazen, a“toe-tapping” favorite, “Puttin’ On the Ritz” by Irving Berlin and Tango from “España”. Pure Joy!
