They have appeared numerous times on WXXI Radio live broadcasts and on the "LIVE from Hochstein" concert series.  The group performs repertoire that spans the history of wind quintet music, including many premieres, and often collaborates with other Geneseo music faculty and area musicians to play works for larger and more varied ensembles. In addition, the member of the quintet serve as the faculty coaches for wind students enrolled in the department’s chamber music ensembles.
