Timothy Takach

Pavia Winds Woodwind Quintet

The concert will feature the world premiere of Kinetic by Minneapolis composer Timothy C. Takach.  “The piece I wrote for Pavia Winds is fun, fast-paced and playful,” said Takach.  “This was my first time writing for woodwind quintet, and it was a joy to write for such nimble instruments. In the piece you hear flashes of color and gesture as the instruments chatter back and forth with each other, and the energy, always driving forward, is passed from player to player.”

Coffee, good cookies and conversation will be served after the concert.  Admission is free, though donations will be accepted for Camden Music School’s scholarship fund.

Formed in 2005 by musicians from area colleges and universities, Pavia Winds  is interested in exploring a variety of repertoire for wind soloists with an increasing focus on contemporary music.  The group presents concerts and workshops throughout Minnesota and especially enjoys working with students to encourage enthusiasm for chamber music of all kinds.   Members of the ensemble include our very own Camden neighbor Justin Windschitl on bassoon; Erica Bennett, flute; Sarah Carmack, oboe; Ryan Golden, clarinet and Gina Monge, horn.  Timothy Takach also lives in the Camden neighborhood.
