Live in-person and live streamed from the stunning Ripley Chapel, please join us for our final concert of the 2025-26 season – Solar Winds and “Impressions of Spring,” a compelling and inspiring program of music written especially for woodwinds.
Solar Winds bring music of the highest quality to recital halls and schools throughout the Boston area. The five musicians who comprise the heart of Solar Winds – a traditional woodwind quintet – are professionally trained instrumentalists and music educators. You will hear Jill Dreeben, flute; Charlyn Bethell, oboe; Diane Heffner, clarinet; Sally Merriman, bassoon. 
Repertoire includes the most demanding compositions of the modern era as well as the classics, arrangements, and novelty pieces that make a woodwind concert such an unusual and delightful musical experience. Go to&nbsp; <a href="https://www.solarwindsquintet.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">solarwindsquintet.com</a> for more information about the group.
“Impressions of Spring” will offer quartets for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon. You will hear stunning works from Gioacchino Rossini (Quartet No. 6, written by a very young Rossini); Jean Françaix (Quatour, witty, conversational, and neo-classical); Alyssa Morris (Brush Strokes, aural representatives of Monet’s impressionism and Pollock’s drips), and Karl Eduard Goepfart (Wind Quartet, op. 93, a student of Franz Liszt).
<h5>What folks have to say:</h5>
<blockquote>“Solar Winds’ insightful and creative experimentation created an entertaining, one-of-a-kind and cohesive performance.” (The Phillipian, (Phillips Academy’s newspaper)“Despite having attended a multitude of Slosberg performances during my academic career at Brandeis, Solar Winds’ [performance] was pure gold, an obvious thrill that reeled me in like no other concert in the past ever has.” (The Brandeis Hoot, Brandeis University)“…I was very happy with their performance of my Woodwind Quintet and was impressed by their musicianship and dedication. They are meticulous in their approach and are a talented, intelligent and convivial ensemble with which to work.” (Francine Trester, Berklee College of Music)</blockquote>
