Equinox Wind Quintet

Equinox Wind Quintet opens its second season with “Inspired Styles,” a concert of innovative music by American and German composers from the 18th, 20th and 21st centuries. Ludwig van Beethoven and Paul Hindemith comprise the Teutonic portion of the program; the Americanos are Alex Wilder, William Grant Still and David Gunn. An arrangement of Beethoven’s Opus 71 Sextet, an early work already brimming with inventive Ludwigian ideas, opens the concert. Equally creative compositions by Alec Wilder and David Gunn follow. Paul Hindemith’s Kleine Kammermusik—or Small Chamber Music—explores the scope of the wind quintet in five brief movements. The concert concludes with William Still’s Miniatures, another five-movement piece based on evocative folk songs of the Americas. The concert, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at the UVM Recital Hall, 392 South Prospect Street, in Burlington, Vermont.

Equinox Wind Quintet are Laurel Ann Maurer, flute; Elise Conti, oboe; Betsy LeBlanc, clarinet; Ron Wold, horn; and Molly Finkel, bassoon. For more information, call 802-881-9153.
