The Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet employs a dash of comedy and a full range of uncommon sounds to promote music as a force that inspires and connects.  Brittany Harrington, Yuki Katayama, Kara LaMoure, and Lauren Yu Ziemba met while studying at the Eastman School of Music, and their extracurricular project of playing quartets quickly developed into a dynamic schedule of high-energy performances.  BWBQ shows feature great music for four bassoons accompanied by skits, costumes, props, and dancing.  

About TEDx, x = independently organized event:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
