The Wingra Woodwind Quintet will open the 2017 Searl Pickett Chamber Music Series on Friday, September 22.
Now in its 22nd season, the Searl Pickett Chamber Music Series features some of the best professional music ensembles in Wisconsin and the Midwest. The Series was founded by Fond du Lac native Kay Gainacopulos as a tribute to, and in memory of one of Wisconsin’s finest music educators. Searl Pickett taught clarinet lessons privately and at the college level, and he was the band director at St. Marys Springs Academy until his death in 1981.
