Just over 20 years old, Midsummer’s Music Composer in Residence Jacob Beranek is ready to see another original piece of his get performed. Wednesday’s world premiere of “Quintet for Winds” is the sixth piece he has written for Midsummer’s Music and the 70th he has written in his lifetime. The piece features five performers, but Beranek admits he bent the rules a little bit when it came to the instrumentation.
The first of five performances of the piece written by the Vanderbilt music student will be Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Woodwalk Gallery in Egg Harbor.
