The Woodwind Boot Camp is an initiative of the
EastWind Reed Quintet in collaboration with the Durham School of the Arts. Major costs are underwritten by
Selmer, Yamaha, Rico, Vandoren, and The University of
North Carolina at Greensboro. We wish to foster a lifelong love of performing music, believing that everyone
should have the opportunity to do so. We accomplish
this through performing alongside students in a chamber
music setting— professionals and amateurs together.
The EastWind Reed Quintet is a resident faculty ensemble in the School of Music, Theatre and Dance at
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and is
America’s first reed quintet. (A relatively new formation
that features oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bass clarinet
and bassoon). EastWind has performed extensively and
established an enviable reputation regionally, nationally,
and internationally. Each member has extensive solo
and chamber music experience, which brings strength
and creative diversity to the group. Along with formal
performances, EastWind has an excellent educational
program of lecture/demonstrations and master classes
for schools, as well as customized residencies.
