Casper College woodwind instructor Jerome Fleg has been performing with the award-winning Antero Wind Quintet for the past eight years. Known for their artistic sensitivity and exuberant stage presence, the quintet has been attracting attention worldwide as a talented and engaging young international woodwind quintet. The Antero Winds have performed in Lander and Laramie, and this concert marks their first performance in Casper. In addition to serving their Rocky Mountain community, the Antero Winds have also traveled the world to perform, compete, and educate, always striving to present performances that are as interesting and satisfying to music connoisseurs as they are to those with little prior experience with classical music. The distinct backgrounds, personalities, and styles of the quintet’s members combine to create the Antero Winds’ signature blend and performance style..
During their years as the Arundo Winds, the quintet won first prize at the Plowman Chamber Music Competition and a silver medal at the prestigious Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. In 2008, they
were the only U.S.-based semi-finalists at the International Chamber Music Competition in Lyon, France. Individual members of the group have also won numerous prizes at solo competitions worldwide.
Educational outreach has brought the quintet to schools and communities throughout Colorado and the wider world. The Antero Winds have had an ongoing relationship with the Aspen Music Festival and School, which has brought them to Western Colorado for a series of mini-residencies with the public schools in the Roaring Fork Valley. They have also played school programs and led band clinics throughout the Denver metropolitan area. In 2006, the quintet traveled to Caracas, Venezuela, where they worked with students at a local FESNOJIV (nationally sponsored youth orchestra) school. These educational programs play a central role in the Antero Winds’ mission, and the quintet is constantly seeking new opportunities and approaches to share their passion for music with students and community members of all ages.
