Equinox Chamber Players and Composer-in-Residence Gwyneth Walker Celebrate Music In Our Schools Month®!Return to Special Events page
The Equinox Chamber Players join the National Association of Music Educators in recognition of Music In Our Schools Month® officially designated for the month of March, the time of year when music education becomes the focus of schools across the nation.  The Equinox Chamber Players have commissioned Vermont composer Gwyneth Walker to create a special work for our school and community concerts. Fun-damentals of Music, for woodwind quintet with audience participation, has been described by the composer as an "interactive quintet." Various musical elements (melody, harmony, rhythm and form) will be explored in an entertaining dialogue between the quintet and the audience.
Gwyneth was recently awarded the the Cerf Lifetime Achievement Award from the Vermont Arts Council .
