This week, I talk to the delightful woodwind quintet, the Washington Square Winds. We talk about the challenges of keeping a chamber group together long-term, adding new members, the delights of chamber music, commissioning new music, and MORE! Lots of laughs in this one. Also, composer Stephanie Ann Boyd, who wrote a piece for the quintet's upcoming concert at Spectrum NYC, stops by for a few minutes to talk about the piece she wrote for the group, among other things.
