Imani Winds & Catalyst Quartet

Grammy-nominated Imani Winds joins Catalyst Quartet to present a bold combination of chamber music for winds and strings with (im)migration: music of change. Known for their dynamic performances and innovative repertoire, Imani Winds leads a revolution of the wind quintet while Catalyst Quartet features alumni from the internationally acclaimed Sphinx Organization. Performing individually and together, their program highlights the experiences of migration, built around Sergeant McCauley, a newly commissioned piece from violinist and composer Jessie Montgomery.

Dazzling ensemble playing … the whole is vastly more than the sum of its parts.
