The Grammy-nominated wind quintet Imani Winds’ innovative programming and ground-breaking collaborations have been enriching and diversifying traditional wind quintet repertoire since the group was founded. For this performance, Imani Winds teams up with the enormously gifted jazz vibraphonist and composer Stefon Harris. The program will feature the Boston premiere of a new work written by Harris, and co-commissioned by the Celebrity Series of Boston.

“If it’s possible for a classically trained wind quintet to rock the house, Imani Winds blows the roof off.”
