THE WEST POINT WOODWIND QUINTET MAKES APPEARANCE AT CSU
West Point Woodwind Quintet
Don't miss a special opportunity to see the West Point Woodwind Quintet of the United States Military Academy Band when they visit CSU and perform music of the 20th century in the Virtuoso Concert Series.
 

"The music we have selected is meant to present the fullest spectrum of potential in terms of sound, technique, and colors of the woodwind quintet. We hope listeners take away a broader understanding of both the modern quintet literature and the unique qualities of wind instruments," says quintet member and oboist Staff Sargeant Carey Winans. MORE INFO (PDF)
