The Spring Wind Quintet – James Moffitt, Marsha Schweitzer, J.Scott Janusch, Susan McGinn, and Jonathan Parrish
Aloha! And welcome to the Spring Wind Quintet's weblog. This blog will keep you informed about our activities, especially our tour to New York and Norway.
The tour really starts on Monday, April 18 here in Hawaii, with a concert at the beautiful Paliku Theatre at Windward Community College in Kaneohe. The concert begins at 7:30pm and will include music by Bach, Ligeti, Hindemith, D’Rivera and some very special arrangements of traditional Hawaiian music.

Hi, Spring Wind Quintet!
I enjoyed the NYC concert preview this afternoon at the Musicians Union - a lot cheaper than flying to New York! :-) Anyway, you guys sound terrific! Really polished and a great program. Thanks for the invite. See you tomorrow at the Doris Duke. Good luck on the Aloha tour! We'll be following you online. Post some photos if you can. Aloha! Norm
