Gossamer
Winds
Gossamer Winds was established in 2005 with the intention of making
great music accessible to all audiences and helping the greater Denver
community.
Gossamer Winds features Monika Vischer, flute; Wes Sansom, clarinet; Katie Smith, oboe; John Richardson, bassoon and Sarah Stallings, horn.
Focusing on a wide range of the classical and Latin repertoire, they also broaden
musical expectations of the traditional wind ensemble to include other
styles.
Gossamer Winds has performed around the Denver area and has partnered
with such local non-profits as:
· KVOD
· Rocky Mountain Housing Development Corporation
Gossamer Winds has recently participated in the Highlands Garden Café Artist Series and the Augustana Arts Jefferson County Chamber Music Festival.
"...Till the
gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul."
~ Walt Whitman, from A Noiseless, Patient Spider
A piece of beautiful
music or work of art is like a delicate yet strong gossamer thread.
Multiple strands woven together create a
beautiful labyrinth on which souls might "catch" if only for a short
time.
