Consortium Aurora Borealis Concert Saturday, February 21, 2026 TAMARACK WIND QUINTET IN CONCERT
This fine ensemble, made up of the Section wind players of the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra, will enchant with a specially-curated programme of colourful, dynamic sounds in a variety of moods. The music is virtuosic, emotional, and incorporates a diverse array of musical styles and influences. It includes Samuel Barber's ‘Summer Music’, which has become a staple of the wind quintet repertoire. The ensemble has been performing in Thunder Bay and throughout Northwestern Ontario for the past two decades, appearing on local concert series, self-presenting a number of projects backed by grants, as well as performing education and outreach concerts for countless classrooms around the region. Its members are Heather Kilborn (flute), Gwen Buttemer (oboe), E-Chen Hsu (clarinet), Aviner Hartwick (bassoon), and Damian Rivers-Moore (horn). There will be a ballot draw at intermission for a special prize. The concert is generously sponsored by Lynn Barber.
