There’s no time like the present to highlight some of the many voices that are often overlooked, sidelined, disparaged, and discounted. Enjoy a taste of new and rarely heard works by a diverse set of composers with the dynamic musicians of the Auburn Wind Quintet. Composers include three living composers, two men of African descent, and two women (one of whom is LGBTQ).
