Morrison Center Recital Hall, C200

Imani Winds is the 2024 Grammy winner in the Classical Compendium category for Jeff Scott’s “Passion for Bach and Coltrane,” released on their recently formed record label, Imani Winds Media. Celebrating over a quarter century of music making, the three-time GRAMMY-nominated Imani Winds has led both a revolution and evolution of the wind quintet through their dynamic playing, adventurous programming, imaginative collaborations, and outreach endeavors that have inspired audiences of all ages and backgrounds. The ensemble’s playlist embraces traditional chamber music repertoire and newly commissioned works from voices that reflect historical events and the times in which we currently live.

Their spring touring program, “Black and Brown II, A Celebration of Composers of Color, ” ranges from cutting-edge new commissions by Damien Geter and Andy Akiho to new classics by founding members Valerie Coleman and Paquito D’Rivera and concludes with a rousing arrangement of Dr. Billy Taylor’s “I Wish I Knew How It Felt To Be Free.”
