Windswept Vol. III

Featuring The Discovery of Honey for woodwind quintet

Performed by Belfiato Quintet

With a fresh line-up of contemporary composers and a decorated modern chamber ensemble, WINDSWEPT VOL. III blends abstract musicality with vivid imagery. Stephen Gryč’s Five American Portraits characterizes historical figures through quirky instrumental solos, while John Bilotta’s Brain Freeze, John Carbon’s Woodwind Quintet, and Ferdinando DeSena’s Rebound explore lyrical, whimsical, and modern tonalities. Marilyn Bliss’ The Discovery of Honey celebrates mythic joy and discovery, capturing Bacchus’s exuberance in a lush, dynamic soundscape.
