WILTON, CT — The Library has announced a program of dance music "to celebrate the spring awakening," featuring the Medera Winds Quintet.

Scheduled musical pieces include waltzes, a tango, the Charleston, a quick step, a pas de deux, a gavotte, a passamezzo, and "the ever popular and often danced, Hungarian Lapockas Tanc, aka 'the Shoulder Blade Dance.'"

The Madera Winds, formed in 2012, is a blend of Connecticut musicians who have performed over the last thirty years in other chamber music groups in Wilton as well as throughout Fairfield County. The members include Kerry Walker, WCSU professor of flute; Ralph Kirmser, oboist and a founding member of Madera; Janet Atherton, also founding member of Madera Winds and a member of the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra; Rosemary Dellinger played principal bassoon for four years with La Orquesta Sinfonica de Maracaibo, Venezuela and currently plays with the American Chamber Orchestra and the St. Thomas Orchestra; and Marjorie Seymour Callaghan, WCSU professor of horn.

The concert will be held in the Wilton Library's Brubeck Room on Sunday, April 14 from 4-5:00 p.m. There will be no charge.
