Virtuoso wind quintet WindSync to perform Nov. 12 at Austin Peay
(Posted on Tuesday, November 2, 2021)
The Clarksville Community Concert Association’s 70th anniversary season continues with a concert by WindSync, an award-winning wind quintet, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12, in the George and Sharon Mabry Concert Hall, at the corner of Marion and Eighth streets at Austin Peay State University.
WindSync comprises flutist Garrett Hudson, clarinetist Elias Rodriguez, oboist Emily
Tsai, hornist Anni Hochhalter and bassoonist Kara LaMoure. An ensemble of five extraordinary
musicians, WindSync has been praised as a “group of virtuosos who are also wonderful
people.”
“Staunchly dedicated to pushing the boundaries of wind quintet performance with youthful,
pop-rock sensibility,” WindSync won the Fischoff National Chamber Music competition
in 2016 and continues to commission bold, innovative new works, perform musical works
written for woodwind quintet and arrange works for its instrumentation. Their Nov.
12 concert will present music in each of these categories, including Maurice Ravel’s
famous “Bolero” in an arrangement by WindSync; György Ligeti’s “Six Bagatelles,” a
work written specifically for woodwind quintet, and “Rakı Havası,” commissioned by
WindSync and composed by Erberk Eryılmaz in 2019.
With the support of Austin Peay’s Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts, WindSync will present three simultaneous masterclasses for APSU music students at 4 p.m. on the day of their concert performance. At 6 p.m., Dr. Spencer Prewitt, professor of clarinet at Austin Peay, will offer a pre-concert talk in Room 147 (Choral Rehearsal) of the Music/Mass Communication building.
With a giant sound that belies their numbers, Wind Sync’s performances have been praised as “game-changing” as well as “brisk, highly animated and infectiously engaging." Their Nov. 12 concert will be presented live and in-person in Mabry Hall and will be livestreamed on the Clarksville Community Concert Association’s YouTube channel.
