Anni Hochhalter and Julian Hernandez of WindSync join us to discuss their work connecting with listeners by exploring various modes of performance beyond the traditional sit-down-and-play model learned in school. We talk about the ways in which they engage new audiences through outreach initiatives and chamber music festivals. Anni and Julian also chat about how they manage touring and scheduling while also balancing freelance careers, and the path that led them to where they are today. WindSync has established itself as a vibrant chamber ensemble performing wind quintet masterworks, adapting beloved music to their instrumentation, and championing new works by today's composers. The quintet eliminates the "fourth wall" between musicians and audience by often performing from memory, creating an intimate connection. This personal performance style, combined with the ensemble's three-pronged mission of artistry, education, and community-building, lends WindSync its reputation as ”a group of virtuosos who are also wonderful people, too" (Alison Young, Classical MPR). Resources discussed in today's episode: - Erberk Eryilmaz, Raki Havasi for Woodwind Quintet and Davul You can find the transcript for this episode here.

One evening Casey was asked to introduce her bassoon to kids online for a class that was the following afternoon! Have you been in this situation? Do you know what you would play? What would you say to someone who has never seen your instrument before? How would you keep the attention of twenty toddlers? It's common to be asked to demonstrate your instrument for a class or whenever you're playing in public, often with little notice or planning time! It seems simple to talk about something that is such a big part of our lives! However, when you've been shredding in the practice room it can be hard to know how to take advantage of an engaging and personal teaching moment with your audience. You'll want to be prepared to engage any and all ages! Casey and Alaina discuss their silly experiences with giving instrument intros, the importance of being ready to do them, and the importance of making them interactive. You are more than a human Google, you're there to provide an experience beyond reciting facts. Be a good ambassador for classical music and for your instrument. Show them how relatable classical musicians are and invite the audience into your world. Try not to forget how cool it is that we get to play these things! Share with the audience, and let them know who you are as a person. All of that will help connect them further into what you do and the music you chose to play for them. In preparation for this episode, we read two chapters from Eric Booth's "The Music Teaching Artist's Bible." Both chapters were from Part IV: The Fundamentals of Working in Education Settings- Chapter 15, "Truth and Dare in Education Programs" Chapter 16, "How to Succeed in School Environments" We'd love for you to join our challenge and record a video of you introducing your instrument! Tag us in your video or send it in a message on Instagram @earsengaged or email us at earsengaged@gmail.com. We want to hear from you! If you're enjoying the podcast, please leave a rating or review!

WindSync are an amazing wind quintet that perform worldwide, including with our own Lafayette Symphony. The Houston Chronicle calls them"chamber music revolutionaries". They have clearly earned that title with their stunning performances of classical masterworks and commissioned pieces. They travel the world carrying out their mission to educate and entertain, and to bring new blood and fresh ideas to chamber music. Anni Hochhalter is the French horn player in this group. She gave us a sense of what it's like to be trailblazing, performing, and teaching as part of this breathtakingly talented crew. They'll perform May 21st at Long Center as the Lafayette Symphony celebrates the anniversary of Holst's " The Planets"
