Park Slope Woodwind Quintet: New Music by American Composers
August 25 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Join the The Park Slope Woodwind Quintet at the New York Society for Ethical Culture for its first concert as a dedicated contemporary music ensemble!
The program features works by NYC-based composers Manuel Ciordia and Yoshi Weinberg, as well as US-based composers Jane Kozhevnikova, Gary Nash, and Nathan Bueno de Mesquita.
Initially established for a 2021 outdoor concert series outside a stoop in Park Slope, Brooklyn, as live performances began to emerge amid the COVID-19 pandemic, The Park Slope Woodwind Quintet (PSWQ) has since become a consummate interpreter of standard repertoire equally at home on the street or in lauded venues across New York City’s boroughs. Now, the PSWQ redefines itself as a contemporary music ensemble aimed at lifting up its community and amplifying local artistic voices.
The PSWQ’s member’s collective education spans degrees from The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Mannes School of Music, and the New England Conservatory, among others. The musicians can be found performing in notable venues across the globe, and as dedicated music educators and administrators within the greater New York area.
