This polished, Grammy-nominated quintet features four woodwinds — flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon — and that most subtle of brass instruments, a French horn. Their music spans classics by Ravel and Hindemith to transcriptions of Mozart, Beethoven, and Poulenc to newly commissioned works. The name Imani means “faith” in Swahili, and subtly reflects the African-American and Latin American roots of this New York-based ensemble.
