About the Musicians
Established in 2015, Elektra Winds is a woodwind quartet founded by professional musicians Dr. Laura Dangerfield Stevens, flute; Dr. Anna Lampidis, oboe; Dr. Eileen Young, clarinet; and Ms. Amber Ferenz Spuller, bassoon. The core members of Elektra Winds teach at several colleges and universities in the area including Wake Forest University, Salem College, and UNC-Chapel Hill. Various members of Elektra Winds perform in at least six regional orchestras, including the Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Western Piedmont, and Asheville symphonies.
Elektra Winds Quartet specializes in the performance of music of the 20-th century and actively searches-out and performs music by women composers. Elektra Winds aims to make the Woodwind Quartet a more prominent and visible ensemble choice by continuing to perform professionally and by commissioning new works in future projects. Elektra musicians encourage and enjoy collaborations with other local professionals at a variety of venues. Elektra musicians regularly perform in duo, trio, quintet, and nonet settings, but the woodwind quartet remains the primary ensemble.
