Windsync to Perform A POCKET NUTCRACKER at Met, 12/14

(New York, November 21, 2014) - This holiday season, the acclaimed wind quintet, WindSync, known for adventurous programs, fiery performances, and unique stage presence, will premiere an interactive and unforgettable version of The Nutcracker for children and adults alike.

A Pocket Nutcracker, on Sunday, December 14, is an abridged and entirely new version of the classic holiday story performed in costume. The family-friendly program also includes renditions of traditional holiday music with WindSync's signature energy and charm.
