Newport, RI (Etude NO.17)

July 16, 2026

After an energetic and imaginative Children’s Concert in 2024, WindSync returns to Newport! Praised for playing “many idioms authoritatively, elegantly, with adroit technique, and with great fun” (All About the Arts), WindSync brings a playful approach to the wind quintet repertoire, weaving together classical favorites, contemporary works, and folk-inspired pieces into a vivid musical journey. Set in the elegant surroundings of the historic Elms mansion, this delightful morning concert features a program ranging from the vibrant textures of Boulanger and Glass, the folky Botanist Suite, Mozart’s spirited Serenade in C minor, and more, inviting listeners to step into the colorful world of the wind quintet.
