Imani Winds
PAS ends February by bringing Imani Winds to Macey Center on Tuesday, Feb. 27. The five accomplished musicians of Imani Winds joined forces in 1997 to expand the boundaries of the traditional wind quintet and explore the links between European, African and American music traditions.
The name Imani, which literally means “faith” in Swahili, embodies this mission. In their time together, this young ensemble of African/ Latin American heritage has established a distinct presence in the classical music world for dynamic playing, innovative programming, and inspirational outreach programs, which often explore the culture and heritage of the African Diaspora while introducing Western classical traditions to diverse classroom audiences.
In the 2004-05 season Imani Winds released their first major label recording, The Classical Underground (KOCH International Classics), which was subsequently nominated for a 2005 Grammy Award.
PAS sponsors include Holiday Inn Express and EMRTC, and First State Bank. Tickets are $14/A, $12/S, $10/Y
