King William Winds will play a concert of favorites Monday night
(Sept. 28, 2001)--The King William Winds, a woodwind quintet-in-residence at UTSA, will present a free concert at 7:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 1, in the Recital Hall on the 1604 Campus.
Formed in 1987, the King William Winds is a San Antonio-based chamber music ensemble and performs throughout south Texas as part of Texas Commission on the Arts Touring Artists. The core instrumentation of the group consists of a woodwind quintet: flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon, but sometimes is expanded to include piano, saxophone, trombone or tuba.
Their repertoire represents music from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and also includes works written specifically for their ensemble. Past programs have included composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Bizet, Debussy, Gershwin, Elliot Carter, Paul Hindemith and local composers James Scott Balentine, William Thornton and Reed Holmes.
As members of the Texas Touring Artists program, King William Winds has recently performed in Kerrville and Beeville and will also perform in Waxahachie and at Baylor University in Waco.
Members of the King William Winds are Rita Linard, flute, David Herbert, oboe, Kathleen Gavigan, clarinet, David Law, horn, and Ron Noble, bassoon.
The concert of some of the ensemble's favorite works will feature the "Woodwind Quintet No. 1" by Texas composer Dan Welcher, "Quintet en Ut" by the French woman composer Claude Arrieu, "Quintett" by August Klughardt, "Pastoral" by Vincent Persichetti and overture to "The Magic Flute" by W. A. Mozart. The concert is free and open to the public.
