Englewinds performs music of living composers and specializes in music that focuses on the environment. Englewinds concerts promote awareness of community-based environmental organizations and environmental concerns.
Since 1998, the ensemble has performed concerts to open a nature conservancy, to celebrate a Peace labyrinth, to protest noise pollution and overbuilding in New Jersey’s wetlands, to heighten awareness of Lenape Native American history, to call attention to diminishing turtle habitat, and to introduce young audiences to sound of the rainforest and NJ meadowlands.
Director Sarah Davol has a passion for both music and nature. While protesting development of wetlands in Teaneck, NJ, in 1998, she commissioned music by composers to call attention to the impending development, and Englewinds performed a concert to bring this music to the public. Since then, the ensemble of outstanding musicians has continued to specialize in commissioning and performing music that focuses on the environment.
New Recording “Tulpe” coming in January 2008
