Organized in 1982 (doesn't seem that long), the Topeka Woodwind Quintet has been performing at local venues, both public and private. Our repertoire ranges from Celtic traditional to Classical and some modern pieces.
This grouping is the traditional Classical ensemble of (front row) Flute/Piccolo, played by Sylvia Klingbeil; Clarinet, Stephanie Reynolds; (back row) French Horn, Clifford Manning; Oboe/English horn, Jim Mosher (me), and Bassoon, Ginger Patterson.
Call or email me (harperbear@att.net) for booking and availability information.

The Consort isn't quite as 'old' as the Quintet, but it's close, 1984 I believe. We have performed at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival for a number of years but had to stop due to other obligations. We have as wide, if not more so, a range of musical selections as the Quintet; including a number of original works by Steve Clark and myself.
We also have two CDs available on my Recordings page.
The members are: (left to right) Myself, Steve Clark, Gitta Gronewaller and Jane Kerns.
We are also available for public as well as private performances. Call or email me (harperbear@att.net) for booking and availability information.

The 'Willow' was once a Topeka staple. We began originally with the idea of having a booth at the KC Renaissance Festival, then we realized how expensive it was to open a booth there. So we began selling online and opened an actual storefront. Some of you may remember those sites.
Several years ago, when the storefront closed, we lost the rights to our website too. I am working toward building up another digital store and still have some stock that I sell.
Feel free to email me for more information or if you are looking for something. I will try to help out as I can. The new email is: willow@harperbear.com
The old phone is no longer in service either, but you can reach me via my cell: 785-224-3108.
