On Monday, May 5, 2025, from noon to 1:00 p.m., the Chamber Music Series of the Romanza Festivale presents the 9B Woodwind Quartet at the Memorial Presbyterian Church.

All four members have performed in several ensembles, many have taught music in the area, and all seek to preserve and promote woodwind chamber music. Founded by Jeff Ackerman, the 9B Woodwind Quartet offers music from multiple genres and across all eras, from early music to modern pop arrangements and stage numbers.

Sellers plays flute in the 9B Quartet and has performed as flutist and piccolist with several ensembles, including the Florida Flute Orchestra, the Trade Winds Quintet, Hollingsworth Winds, and the First Coast Flute Choir in Jacksonville.

Multi-instrumentalist Robbie Zukauskas plays bassoon in the quartet, plays in area ensembles, and has performed with several military bands.

Lynn Jason plays clarinet with the ensemble and has a music degree and a master's degree in library science. She also plays with several ensembles in Northeast Florida.
