Imani Winds – April 1, 2017
I just wanted to send you this little note of feedback (see below) about yesterday’s educational session… people really enjoy it and I thought you would like to know about it. Also, another couple mentioned to me how much they appreciated receiving the program ahead of time. They are avid Chamber members who drive in from south Okanagan and they tend to research program material before performances. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening performance. My favourites… the Scheherazade and Mediterranean Dance. Thank you for bringing this great talent to Kelowna. E
It was such a treat to hear the Imani Winds at the recent Chamber Music Kelowna concert. There are not a lot of professional wind quintets out there these days, but you brought in one of the best. I enjoyed their energy and fine playing, as well as their program. It was great to hear a mix of transcriptions and works originally for quintet. As a professional wind player myself, it was fun to listen to conversations in the lobby during the intermission and after the concert, and hear the opinions of other audience members experiencing a wind quintet for the first time. I so appreciate the diversity that Chamber Music Kelowna brings to the stage and am looking forward to next season’s lineup! KD
