The Rock Island Library will host an impromptu music performance Friday, when the STEM Ensemble of Valparaiso University drops by.

The STEM Woodwind Ensemble of Valparaiso University will drop by the Downtown Library on Friday, March 16. The double quintet will play from the mezzanine of the library from 3:00 to 4:00 pm, providing beautiful music for first-floor patrons to read, browse or study by.

STEM Quintet Musicians are Alison Norris, flute; Timothy Henderson, oboe; Monica Lueck, clairinet; Janelle Wiegal, horn, and Sarah Kuchel, bassoon. Additional tour musicians in the STEM wind ensemble are Sydney Wiemer, clarinet; Cami Heinisch, horn; Tanner Gesell, euphonium; Paul Flaten, trombone; and Eric Mueller, tuba.

The goal of the STEM Woodwind Ensemble is to promote the crossovers between music and the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, as well as provide beautiful music.

The group is playing at Friendship Manor on Thursday night, and added the extra performance for the library.

The event is free and open to the public. The Rock Island Downtown Library is located at 401 19th Street, Rock Island.
