Presented by Shriver Hall Concert Series

Celebrating 25 years of music-making, the Grammy-nominated Imani Winds has led both a revolution and evolution of the wind quintet. Hailed as “dazzling” and “exhilarating” by The Washington Post, the Quintet’s program draws on Yoruban, Hindustani, South American, and jazz traditions, and features the world premiere of a new piece from Sphinx Medal of Excellence recipient Carlos Simon.
