Under the leadership of Bassoonist MSgt Julie Stockdill the ensemble performs classical recitals, college master classes, school assemblies, and official military functions. Members have performed with the Waco Symphony, Aspen Music Festival Orchestra, West Virginia Symphony, and Central Ohio Symphony Orchestra. Comprised of flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, horn, and bassoon, the sextet adds a touch of class to any event.

Experience the “sites” and sounds of the Hudson River Valley as pianist Jacqueline Schwab celebrates the Hudson River School painters with an afternoon of American folk and classical music. Schwab, a folk and classical improvisational pianist, plays "gorgeously spare piano" (The Boston Globe) yet "sounds as if she has an orchestra at her fingertips" (Sing Out). Chosen by the renowned Ken Burns for numerous public television documentaries for the emotional expression in her playing, Schwab performed on the soundtracks for the Grammy award-winning Civil War, the Emmy award-winning Baseball, and Mark Twain, among others. #ArtofMusic
