Whew! It has been a busy few weeks with the Madera Wind Quintet! After premiering Lansing McCloskey’s Hardwood at the International Horn Society conference on May 18, we got right back to work on preparing our Five at Play program for recording.
We are currently in the midst of a six-day recording session at the University of North Texas’ Voertman Hall, and everything is on schedule and sounding good. We have also been hard at work on our Kickstarter campaign to help with the production costs of the album Five at Play, which features the five winning compositions from our 2012 Call for Scores (by Sean Friar, Daniel Nass, Peter Nickol, Carl Schimmel, and Philip Wharton) and Sarah Summar’s piece To Neinilli’s Mischief, which was written for us last year.
