Playing more than 100 dates out of town each year has taken Windsync to some interesting places, but it’s hard to beat where the Houston-based wind quintet found themselves last November. They checked into London’s Abbey Road Studios to record an album of pieces by Seattle-based composer Miguel del Aguila, which the group hopes to release later this year.
Formed by alumni of Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, Windsync — flutist Garrett Hudson, oboist Emily Tsai, clarinetist Graeme Steele Johnson, bassoonist Kara LaMoure, hornist Anni Hochhalter — established themselves by winning prestigious competitions such as Concert Artists Guild’s Victor Elmaleh Competition, in 2012, and the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition four years later.
“They helped us identify what the spaces were that would be best served by musical performance, and then we designed concerts or events that integrated music into some other type of event, like a story time at a library or a holiday-themed event,” LaMoure says, noting that the effect was to “make these spaces that maybe people had come to think of as quite ordinary or even underutilized seem livelier and more interesting again.
Inspired by what they learned in Louisiana, Windsync created the Onstage Offstage Chamber Music Festival, a series of performances that highlights the ensemble’s partnerships with local organizations such as the Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and Houston Youth Symphony.
The festival continues Wednesday with another free concert at Houston Farmers Market on Airline, where Windsync will join HSPVA students to perform Windsync’s recently debuted family-oriented piece “Interstellar Cinderella”; and Thursday with the week’s only ticketed event, a program at MATCH topped by a chamber-music reduction of George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody In Blue.
