Gifts of Art presents Chamber Music by the Life Sciences Orchestra Wind Octet
The Life Sciences Orchestra Wind Octet is made up of players from the University of Michigan Life Sciences Orchestra, a symphony orchestra composed of U-M life sciences faculty, staff, students and family members. The wind octet was a popular musical ensemble configuration in Mozart’s day, and composers of that time have left a rich repertoire that is not often heard. The LSO Wind Octet will play music by Mozart and Franz Krommer, a Czech contemporary of Mozart and Beethoven. Ruth McAdams and Angela Noble will perform on oboe, William Burnham and Maxwell Radin on clarinet, Michael DiPietro and Amy Kilbourne on bassoon, and Edward Norton and Andrew Dill on French horn.
