- Faculty woodwind quintet from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Entered from booking ledger and New York Times concert listing. Although the listing does not identify John Downey's work as "Agort" (it only says "Woodwind Quintet"), based on the date of composition and a recording by the Woodwind Arts Quintet, it is believed the work premiered on this performance was "Agort". The personnel for the group, which is not included in the listing, has been recorded here as per a 1972 publicity photo.
