Quintuor Winds woodwind quintet infuses music and literature with this children-friendly, musical program.  Join our group as we entertain and educate young and old, alike with music that tells a story.  The group’s performance includes:

Sergei Prokofiev‘s Peter and the Wolf

Paul Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice

(Featuring the poetry of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

The Winnie the Pooh Suite

(Featuring the stories of A.A. Milne)

Camille Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals

                      (Featuring the poems of Ogden Nash)

As part of this program, the group, or a guest narrator will give a brief history of each composer and the work to be performed.  The group will demonstrate how each instrument can represent a character in a story and how music can be used to aurally represent a scene or event.  The program can be adjusted to accommodate any performance length.
