We are honored to welcome The Elektra Winds, a woodwind quartet, to our First Pres Concert Series, celebrating 10 years as North Carolina’s premier woodwind ensemble. Founded by professional musicians Dr. Laura Dangerfield Stevens (flute), Dr. Anna Lampidis (oboe), Dr. Eileen Young (clarinet), and Ms. Amber Ferenz (bassoon), the quartet’s core members teach at several colleges and universities in the area, including Wake Forest University and UNC-Chapel Hill. Various members perform in regional orchestras, including the Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Western Piedmont, and Asheville symphonies. Elektra Winds specializes in 20th-century music and actively seeks to perform works by women composers, including Amber Ferenz. Their mission is to elevate the visibility of the woodwind quartet through professional performances and commissioned works.
