Team Woodwinds
Located in the middle of the orchestra, woodwind instruments are also in the middle of the sound range. Collectively their sound brings a warmth and richness to symphonic music, but as solo instruments, they ring cool and clear. Team Woodwinds will blow your socks off!
New West Symphony flautist Carol Lockart shares her passion for the flute! Then, watch great piece of music that make the woodwinds section shine!
- Carl Nielsen – Flute Concerto
- Strauss – Oboe Concerto
- Brahms – Clarinet Sonata No. 2
- Mozart – Bassoon concerto B-Flat major, K191

Fun Facts
While there are 4 main instruments in an orchestra’s woodwind section, there are several variations of each:
- Flute (including piccolo and recorder)
- Clarinet (in two tones, A and B flat)
- Oboe (and English Horn, which is not English or a horn)
- Bassoon (German and French versions)
While saxophone and bagpipe are in the family, they’re not typically part of a symphony orchestra.
Battle of the Sections: Orchestra Edition
For the first time in history, New West Symphony is launching a battle extraordinaire challenging its orchestra sections to compete.
