May 14 at 3 p.m., Zephyr, Helen Rifas and Kathy Levy
Zephyr, a flute and harp duo, offers music for the concert stage, house concerts and social events. Winston-Salem Symphony flutist Kathryn Levy and harpist Helen Rifas have been performing together since the 1980s. The name Zephyr comes from Zephyrus, the personified west wind, which eventually evolved into zephyr, a word for a breeze that is westerly or gentle, or both. Breezy zephyr may have blown into English with the help of William Shakespeare. Their program will feature light classics and music from around the world.
