Each UCLA Gluck Woodwind Quintet features one of each of the instruments in the woodwind family–oboe, flute, bassoon, and clarinet–as well as the french horn, a brass instrument with a rich and warm tone, to compliment the woodwinds. This combination of different musical timbres creates an ensemble that is capable of portraying countless colors, emotions and styles, while offering a musical repertoire that spans many genres and eras. Whether the pieces are familiar or new, audiences will be delighted by this unique style of chamber music.
