“Savvy, Smarts & Sass…” - Arts and Culture
WindSync has established itself as a vibrant chamber ensemble performing classical masterworks, adapting beloved music to their instrumentation, and championing new works by today’s composers. The quintet eliminates the "fourth wall" between musicians and audience by often performing from memory, creating an intimate connection. This personal performance style, combined with the ensemble’s three-pronged mission of artistry, education, and community-building, lends WindSync its reputation as ”a group of virtuosos who are also wonderful people, too" (Alison Young, Classical MPR).
Versatile and vibrant, WindSync “play many idioms authoritatively, elegantly, with adroit technique, and with great fun” (All About the Arts).
Followed by a lakeside reception.

About the Flonzaley Residency at The Sembrich
The Flonzaley Resident Ensemble affords an individual artist or an ensemble of musicians a week-long residency at The Sembrich with the opportunity to use the studio freely to rehearse and perform. The residency was established in tribute to the Flonzaley Quartet, founded by arts patron and Sembrich colleague Edward de Coppet in 1903. Mr. de Coppet opened his Swiss estate to the artists each summer and established the quartet on the principle that its members would never accept outside engagements or take on students. The musicians devoted themselves solely to the purpose of perfecting their art. It was with that lofty goal in mind that The Sembrich invited the Hyperion Quartet as our first-ever quartet-in-residence in 2010. Other recipients of the Flonzaley Residency include the Brooklyn Art Song Society, the Villalobos Brothers, the Bridge and Wolak accordion and clarinet duo and composer Jesse Gelaznik.
