Audry Dunn is among the Brazosport Symphony Orchestra (Texas) musicians who perform a chamber-music concert on June 15 as the Gulf Winds Quintet.
In Monday’s (6/10) The Facts (Brazoria County, TX), Gauri Godbole writes, “The Brazosport Symphony Orchestra will offer a summer concert unlike any other in its season lineup when the Gulf Winds Quintet performs ‘The Elegance of the 19th Century Salon Concert’ at The Center for the Arts and Sciences. Set for 2 p.m. Sunday in the Brazosport Art League Gallery, the concert aims to recreate the intimate atmosphere of 19th-century salon performances, blending classical music with a relaxed social setting. Guests can enjoy coffee, cake and a program spanning hundreds of years of musical history. Clarinetist Linda Crummel, who helped organize the event and also performs with the quintet, said the goal was to create a cozy experience that breaks from the formality of a full symphony performance…. The Gulf Winds Quintet—composed of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and French horn—is made up of musicians from the Brazosport Symphony. While its members regularly play together at local events, this will be their first salon-style concert at The Center…. The program includes a range of works from the Renaissance through the 20th century…. Flutist Audry Dunn said the smaller venue helps create a stronger connection between the performers and the audience.”
