Classical music shouldn\u2019t be limited to traditional settings, and the music surrounding us should be as diverse as the culture we live in. Through interactive concerts highlighted by superb artistry and engaging commentary, the group breaks the dusty, classical ensemble mold while gaining fans wherever they perform. Quintocracy features Melanie Chirignan on flute, Sue Daves on bassoon, Michael Dee on clarinet, Kelly Lockwood on oboe and Kathryn Svatek on horn.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-131373 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Quintocracy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"188\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Reese Fulmer &amp; the Carriage House Band \u2013 Thursday, March 10<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-131378 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reese-full-band-3-217x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong>Up-and-coming, Saratoga Springs-based, singer\/songwriter Reese Fulmer describes himself as a \u201cbrand new soul,\u201d but his songs tell a different story.
