The Black Squirrel Winds are, unsurprisingly, made up of three members of the Kent State music school faculty — oboist Danna Sundet, horn player Kent Larmee and flautist Diane McCloskey Fiocco, along with clarinetist Amitai Vardi and bassoonist and Akron Symphony member Mark DeMio. Why unsurprising? The black squirrel, which runs rampant is Kent, is sort of the town mascot.
The relatively new quintet is next up at Music for Miles, a series of Sunday afternoon concerts at Waterloo Arts held in memory of Miles Kennedy, who was one of the pioneers of the Waterloo Road revival.
The group’s program includes Trois Pieces Bre’ves by Jacques Ibert, Six Russian Folk Dances by Anatoly Liadov and Quintet in Bb Major by Franz Danzi and La Cheminée du Roi René (The Fireplace of King René), by Darius Milhaud. They’ll finish off with Roaring Fork, a 20-minute piece inspired by the Roaring Fork River in Colorado, which was composed by Clevelander Eric Ewazen for the Borealis Wind Quintet in 1993.
The concert is free.
