The concert was great! It was fun, instructional, and a real treat to hear live music at school. It put me in a great mood the rest of the day! – Eileen Langholtz, Enrichment Coordinator, John Eaton ES
The wind quintet is well-suited to education:
• Supports STEAM programs with insight into the workings of band instruments
• Dynamic repertoire by masterful composers and arrangers
