Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center: Century of Winds tickets

The wind quintet has the challenge, as well as the benefit, of bringing together five distinct instruments to explore multiple blends of timbres. Klughardt's Quintet in C major is a beautiful example of great writing for each of the five, and the addition of piano in Louise Farrenc's Sextet provides expanded sonic dimensions and is a true tour de force for the pianist. The program is balanced with smaller combinations featuring double reeds, the regal sound of the horn, and upper winds.
