The Five Families Ensemble

The members of The Five Families Ensemble are not related, but they play instruments which reflect the four families of instruments that we all learned about in elementary school music class: the strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion, with the addition of vocalists as a fifth family. This innovative combination gives this chamber ensemble their uniquely pleasing sound!

Scott Rutledge (trumpet, flugelhorn, vocals), Liz Simchik (violin,vocals), Monk Rowe (woodwinds, keyboards), Kristen Kopf (cello), and Evan DuChene (percussion) are The Five Families Ensemble!  Don't miss this inaugural concert of our new Sunday Classics series!
