WLU’s Department of Music will host the second event for the 2010-11 Concert Artist Series. The Borealis Wind Quintet will preform on Sunday, Oct. 31 at 8:00 p.m. in the Elbin Auditorium, College Hall on WLU’s main campus.

The Borealis Wind Quintet has received accolades for their finesse and style. They have won numerous awards and prizes, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and Chamber Music America. They have toured throughout the United States with notable performances at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Concert Hall, the Frick Museums in New York City and Pittsburgh, and Wolf Trap in Virginia. Their goal is to blend sparkling virtuosity with musical integrity in programs that are appealing and richly rewarding to the audience. Their well-received performances have resulted in numerous re-engagements across the country.

“The program is wonderfully electric and colorful. This promises to be a memorable and very engaging concert,” says Gerald Lee, Associate Professor of Piano at WLU.

This concert is free and open to the public. For more information please contact the WLU Department of Music at (304) 336-8930.
