These ensembles for the older adult rehearse and perform literature written for combinations of woodwinds in choirs of like instruments (all flutes or clarinets or saxophones) and mixed instruments. The ensembles include trios, quartets, quintets, and larger ensembles and may be combined with non-woodwind instruments to complete the instrumentation appropriate to the selected literature. Emphasis is placed on stylistic and historical performance practices, instrumental techniques, and musicianship. Performances are held on campus and in the community.
