Founded in 1982 – and celebrating their 40th anniversary with this performance! – the Antara Winds have appeared regularly on “Live from Hochstein” and have performed extensively throughout the Greater Rochester area including appearances with the Rochester Oratorio Society, Perinton Concert Band, and Society for Chamber Music in Rochester.
For this concert, the ensemble explores the woodwind quintet from the 18th century to the present day, going from Franz Danzi’s Quintet in G Minor – one of the classics of the 18th Century repertoire – to Amanda Harberg’s Suite for Wind Quintet, composed in 2017. Both are virtuosic pieces and reflect the energy and lyricism of their times. Since its founding, Antara Winds has championed the works of living American composers, making Harberg’s suite an appropriate choice. Danzi’s quintet is an outstanding companion piece that demonstrates the sound of the woodwind quintet in its earliest incarnation.
Antara Winds delights in bringing audiences the music of contemporary composers. They have premiered two works written specifically for Antara: Verne Reynolds’ Antara Music (2003), and Libby Larsen’s Blue Windows: After Marc Chagall (2005).
