Jenni Brandon’s “L’Étoile du Nord” for reed trio (oboe, clarinet, bassoon) is premiered by the Sonora Winds in their November concert series “Inspirations”. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

The Sonora Winds, a Twin Cities Minnesota-based woodwind chamber group, believes that access to excellent classical music enriches lives. By presenting unique music through outreach and education, overlooked composers and well-known standards can be discovered, rediscovered, and appreciated on an intellectual and emotional level. By performing and discussing programs, the musicians of Sonora winds can stimulate, enrich, and impact varied audiences.

The November concert series is:
