The University of West Florida Dr. Grier Williams School of Music will present a faculty and friends Chamber Winds concert on Monday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. The performance will
be held in the Rolfs Music Hall at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts, Building 82, on the Pensacola campus.
The Chamber Winds concert will feature UWF Faculty and PSO musicians on pieces celebrating the rich chamber wind ensemble repertoire. Mozart’s “Serenade in C minor” is a 4
movement piece of the Harmoniemusik tradition and was composed in 1782. “Seascape,” Op. 53, was composed by Ruth Gipps for the Portia Wind Ensemble in 1960; Gipps lived
on the English coast in her youth and the piece depicts the various moods of the sea. The Portia Wind Ensemble was an all-female chamber ensemble active in and around
London in the mid-20th century. The program will close with Emile Bernard’s “Divertissement,” which is an incredibly beautiful three-movement work composed for the Société des
Instruments à Vent (Society of Wind Instruments) in Paris around 1888.
The ensemble is composed of Sarah Jane Young and Stephanie Riegle, flute; Matt Fossa and Amy Selkirk, oboe; Richard Jernigan and Newell Hutchinson, clarinet; Kristina
Nelson and Abigail Walker, bassoon; and Stuart Kinney and Jodi Graham Wood, Horn. The ensemble will be conducted by Dr. Brittan Braddock, UWF director of bands.
The event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required. For more information or to reserve tickets, please contact the CFPA Box Office at 850.857.6285 or online at
