KTEP's Charlize Mercado welcomes to the KTEP studios El Paso Pro Musica's Executive Director, Felipa Solis, to talk about the especial performance of the Grammy Award-winning group Imani Winds in El Paso.
Imani Winds is the 2024 GRAMMY winner in the Classical Compendium category for Jeff Scott’s “Passion for Bach and Coltrane” released on their recently formed record label, Imani Winds Media. Celebrating over a quarter century of music making, the four time GRAMMY nominated group has led both a revolution and evolution of the wind quintet through their dynamic playing, adventurous programming, imaginative collaborations and outreach endeavors that have inspired audiences of all ages and backgrounds. The ensemble’s playlist embraces traditional chamber music repertoire, and newly commissioned works from icons to new voices reflect the times in which we live.
Brought by El Paso Pro Musica, the quintet will be performing Saturday March 8, at 7:30 p.m. at UTEP’s Fox Fine Arts Recital Hall.
