oin as we kick off the fifth annual Classical Music Festival with a free performance from WindSync in the Town Center Park!

Hailed by the Houston Chronicle as "revolutionary chamber musicians," WindSync has distinguished itself among classical music ensembles as North America's foremost emerging wind quintet. The ensemble is recognized internationally for dramatic and adventurous programing in venues ranging from concert halls to museums, universities and schools. The young, energetic group plays exclusively from memory, including elements of staging and choreography, and focuses on building connections with audiences through dynamic concert programming and charismatic stage presence.

Winner of the 2012 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh International Competition, WindSync also received the Sylvia Ann Hewlett Adventurous Artist Prize and numerous performance prizes from the CAG competition, including the ensemble's New York debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Chautauqua Institution, Washington Performing Arts Society's Music in the Country series, the Music in the Park Series of The Schubert Club (St. Paul, MN) and the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University. Recent performance engagements include the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center in China and Zilkha Hall at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Houston as well as radio broadcasts by Houston Public Media, New York Public Radio's McGraw Hill Financial Young Artists Showcase, and Minnesota Public Radio/American Public Media's Performance Today.
