UMS is thrilled to welcome back the Imani Winds. This ensemble has led both a revolution and an evolution of the wind quintet through their dynamic playing, adventurous programming, and imaginative collaborations. Join us for this exciting, interactive K12 performance that will take us on a musical journey around the world, featuring compositions by Lina Mathon Blanchet, Georges Bizet, Paquito D’Rivera, and Valerie Coleman. Students will learn about each of the instruments found in this ensemble and experience the dramatic displays of sound as well as the subtle, intricate musical conversations of performing in a chamber music ensemble.
