5 Reasons you NEED to hear these
concerts! Imani Winds most recent recording, Bruits, topped
The New York Times list, "5 Classical Albums to
Hear Right Now" Praised by The New York Times for their
"panache", Harlem Quartet will stun you with their
unconventional blend of jazz and classical with works like "Take
the A Train"
The New Yorker described Harlem Quartet as "a superb professional
ensemble and wrote of this program "William Bolcom’s Three
Rags for String Quartet gives an easy, ironic spin to ragtime
melodies...before bringing it home with a jaunty rendition of “Take
the ‘A’ Train.
The New Yorker described Imani Winds as "the nation's leading
winds ensemble"
You deserve two evenings of stunning sunsets and
beautiful music this week. Come on, treat yourself!

Harlem
Quartet The Grammy
Award-winning Harlem Quartet is as adept at Mozart as
they are at Ellington. Harlem Quartet advances diversity in classical
music while engaging new audiences with varied repertoire that
includes works by minority composers. Their mission to share their
passion with a wider audience has taken them around the world; from a
2009 performance at The White House for President Obama and First
Lady, Michelle Obama, to a highly successful tour of South Africa in
2012, and numerous venues in between.
