The trailblazing Imani Winds was among the first to put a wind ensemble on center stage and has since redefined what its forces perform. They make their first 92NY appearance with acclaimed pianist Terrence Wilson in a program conceived around rhythm and dance. Repertoire includes Paquito D'Rivera's take on the Venezuelan joropo, Imani hornist Jeff Scott's arrangement of Piazzolla’s sultry tango “Oblivion,” a jazzy Poulenc work, and a fabulous Brazilian choro from acclaimed film music composer Marcelo Zarvos. The program also includes Louise Farrenc's Sextet for Piano and Winds – a brilliant showcase for Wilson and Imani in a concert that highlights the unique qualities a wind quintet brings to the chamber music experience.
