Twenty-six seasons of full-time touring has brought Imani Winds to virtually every major chamber music series\, performing arts center\, and summer festival in the U.S. They regularly perform in prominent venues including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, and the Kennedy Center and have a presence at festivals such as Chamber Music Northwest\, Chautauqua Institution and Banff Centre. \nAppointed in 2021 as Curtis Institute of Music’s first ever Faculty Wind Quintet\, Imani Winds commitment to education runs deep. The highly successful Imani Winds Chamber Music Festival launched in 2010\, is an annual summer program devoted to musical excellence and career development for pre-professional instrumentalists and composers. The curriculum includes mentorship\, masterclasses\, entrepreneurial workshops\, community engagement activities and performances\, with the goal of fostering the complete musician and global citizen. In 2019\, the group extended their mission even further by creating the non-profit organization\, Imani Winds Foundation\, which exists to support\, connect and uplift their initiatives and more. \nImani Winds’ travels through the jazz world are highlighted by their multi-faceted association with luminary musicians and composers Wayne Shorter\, Paquito D’Rivera and Jason Moran. Their ambitious project\, “Josephine Baker: A Life of Le Jazz Hot!” featured jazz songstress René Marie in performances that brought the house down in New York\, Pittsburgh\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles and St. Louis. \nIn 2021\, Imani Winds released their 9th studio album\, “Bruits” on Bright Shiny Things Records\, which received a 2022 GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance.” Gramophone states\, “the ensemble’s hot rapport churns with conviction throughout.” \nImani Winds has recordings on Koch International Classics and E1 Music\, including their 2006 GRAMMY® nominated recording\, “The Classical Underground”. They have also recorded for Naxos and Blue Note and released an acclaimed arrangement of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring on Warner Classics. They are regularly heard on all media platforms including NPR\, American Public Media\, the BBC\, SiriusXM\, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
