The Ted Falasco Arts Center held its last concert of its season series Saturday as it hosted a group from Stanford University.</p><p>The Stanford Woodwind Quintet performed chamber music for the audience.</p><p>The five-member ensemble is comprised of Stanford University faculty members who, according to flute player Alexandra Hawley, have been performing together for 20 years.</p><p>The quintet introduced various musical pieces during the evening. The songs, all instrumentals, were mostly from Europe.</p><p>Horn player Larry Ragent led the group. Ragent announced a section that featured songs from the Iron Curtain era mixed with a little old fashioned American Jazz.</p><p>"This is Hungarian jazzy kind of music in the Iron Curtain Europe about 1969. It kind of has a horseback kind of rhythm to it except you have to imagine the horse has seven legs," Ragent said.</p><p>In addition to Hawley and Ragent, the group featured oboe player James Matheson, Mark Brandenburg on the clarinet and bassoonist Rufus Olivier.</p><p>The Stanford Woodwind Quintet performed sitting in a horseshoe-shaped formation in front of sheet music. Occasionally the group would stand and bow after a song, but the most animated the quintet became during the evening was a well-choreographed synchronized stomp after an up tempo number.</p><p>According to various Web sites featuring the group, the Stanford Woodwind Quintet specializes in music from the 18th through 20th centuries.</p><p>Ragent, Matheson and Olivier have performed with the San Francisco Opera Orchestra. Brandenburg is a former member of the San Francisco and San Jose symphonies. Hawley is the founder and artistic director of the Avedis Chamber Music Series.</p><p>Enterprise reporter Corey Pride can be reached by phone at 388-6563 or by e-mail at cpride@losbanosenterprise.com
