MARLBOROUGH, MA—Take advantage of such a gorgeous presentation of music, presented for free to the community.

The Friends of the Marlborough Public Library put on “A 2017 FALL Concert” featuring “Solar Winds, a woodwind quintet” with Jill Dreeben, flute; Charlyn Bethell, oboe; Diane Heffner, clarinet & bass clarinet; Neil Goodwin, French horn and Neil Fairbairn, bassoon on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m. in the Bigelow Auditorium, Marlborough Public Library.

This is the second concert of The Friends 2017-18 Yacyshn Concert Series chaired by Leslie Havens, in this The Friends 48th Season of presenting musical programs.

According to the announcement, the five musicians who comprise the heart of Solar Winds – a traditional woodwind quintet – are professionally trained instrumentalists and music educators. Their repertoire includes the most demanding compositions of the modern era as well as the classics, arrangements, and novelty pieces that make a woodwind quintet concert such an unusual and delightful musical experience. With the addition of piano, Solar Winds becomes an even more versatile ensemble.

This program is funded and sponsored in part by the Ezra Cutting Trust-Bank of America Trustee; the Marlborough Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency; The Friends Memorial Fund and a gift from the Cummings Foundation in honor of Ginger Ryan.
