Simple Gifts: A Holiday Sampler

Posted

MILFORD, PA — In the final lap of its “Common Thread: 25K Miles of Music” series, the WindSync quintet will present its interpretation of holiday classics on Saturday, December 6 at 5:30 p.m. at the Milford Theatre. WindSync has been praised for its energetic performances and charismatic stage presence. For this concert, the self-styled “rebel woodwind quintet” will play Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” and other holiday tunes plus less obvious choices by Copland, Prokofiev and Respighi.

“WindSync has carved a niche… as specialists in interactive concerts,” said bassoonist Tracy Jacobson. “We incorporate bits of choreography, poetry, theater and singing into our performances, [and] we pretty much operate under the principle of playing only music we absolutely love.”

A rising star since its New York City debut in Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, WindSync has been hailed by the Houston Chronicle as “revolutionary chamber musicians,” playing at venues from Shanghai to Chautauqua.

Tickets cost $20 at the box office or $15 when purchased in advance on the Kindred Spirits Arts Programs website, kindredspiritsarts.org. Tickets can also be purchased at Books and Prints at Pear Alley, 220 Broad St. Children under 15 are admitted free.
