Drawing Inspiration
Air is the energy that fuels wind instruments. And sharing that air with trusted colleagues, learning what makes them tick on a musical level, is what inspires the people who play them. Gro Sandvik, flutist with the Bergen Woodwind Quintet, says, "What we inhale is the inspiration for what is going to happen when we exhale." Today and tomorrow, the members of the Bergen Woodwind Quintet draw inspiration from each other, joining host Fred Child in the PT studio.
