Georgia Woodwind Quintet

The Georgia Woodwind Quintet is a resident faculty ensemble in the University of Georgia School of Music. Since its founding in 1967, the quintet has maintained an active schedule performing woodwind chamber music from the early quintets of Danzi and Reicha to twentieth-century compositions. The quintet champions new compositions for woodwinds. It has sponsored seven Symposia for New Woodwind Quintet Music at the University of Georgia since 1978 and recorded a compact disc of winning compositions from past Symposia entitled Twigs: Winning Compositions from the University of Georgia Symposia for New Woodwind Quintet Music by ACA Digital Recordings, Inc.

The members of this group currently include Angela Jones-Reus, flute; Dr. Jean Martin-Williams, horn, Dwight Manning, oboe; D. Ray McClellan, clarinet; and William Davis, bassoon.
