Orpheus Winds, a Brigham Young University School of Music faculty ensemble, will be performing Saturday, Oct. 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the Madsen Recital Hall. Tickets at $6 are available through the Fine Arts Ticket Office or online at byuarts.com.

Orpheus Winds is comprised of Geralyn Giovannetti, oboe; Jaren Hinckley, clarinet; Laurence Lowe, horn; and Christian Smith, bassoon. They will be assisted by other faculty, including Eric Hansen on doublebass and conductor David Blackinton.

Instead of typical wind quintet music, they will be performing two trios, three octets and one nonet. Works will include “Rustiques” by Josephe Cateloube, “8+1” by Hidas Frigyes and “Contrafacta Hungarica” by Ferenc Farkas.

BYU research: Mega wildfires can actually be a good thing

November 04, 2025
BYU professor Sam St. Clair is the principal investigator on the first study to show positive impacts of megafires (fires greater than 100,000 acres) across different forest types.
