The Renaissance City Winds has become one of Pennsylvania's foremost chamber ensembles since its founding in 1975.  Touring takes the group throughout the eastern United States, with past appearances at the Kennedy Center, New York's famed Carnegie Recital Hall, and the Pennsylvania Governor's Home.  The Renaissance City Winds has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, Chamber Music America, and the Aaron Copland Fund for Music.  It has recorded several CDs and is heard frequently on public radio.  The group is noted for its innovative collaborations with soloists and choirs, Mark Thompson's mime troupe, and several modern dance companies.  Originally a woodwind quintet, the ensemble expanded in 1988 into the Renaissance City Winds to create more exciting programs than ever!  For more information or to schedule an RCW performance for your event please call (412)-681-7111 or send e-mail to: rcw@carlow.edu
