Quint-Essential Winds

 

"FROM SALZBURG TO NEW ORLEANS”

The Friends of the Hampstead Public Library kicked off their series of programs for the community on Tuesday, September 13th with an exceptional musical offering.  A group of five musicians called the Quint-Essential Winds performed a program of both classical and popular music ranging from Mozart and Beethoven to recent compositions such as "Scarborough Fair”, "Autumn Leaves”, and even "Basin Street Blues”.  There was something for every musical taste – except rock and roll or rap.

 

All the performers are professional musicians with extensive experience playing on three continents.  They have more than 150 years combined study and performance.  They are:  Richard DuBois on flute and piccolo, Duane Bateman on the oboe, Jennifer Larson on the horn, George Muller on the bassoon, and Robert Sinclair on the clarinet.  They are all residents of the seacoast area of Maine and New Hampshire and have performed with many area orchestras from Bangor to Boston and beyond.
