Description

Founded in 1982, Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings is an ensemble committed to bringing to life the large and wonderful body of repertoire that utilizes between six and 20 musicians. Many of these works go largely unheard in professional concert halls due to their unusual instrumentation. Originally focusing on music for wind and brass players, the organization has recently expanded to encompass an outstanding component of string instrumentalists. Supplementing its local subscription season with both recording and touring, Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings has established a national reputation for artistic excellence. Outstanding critical notice has been garnered from numerous sources, including Stereo Review, Chamber Music, BBC Music Magazine, The New York Times, Audio, the Indianapolis Star, and all of Detroit's major media. Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings celebrated its 20th Anniversary with a week of concerts in Switzerland, highlighted by a featured performance at the 10th conference of the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (WASBE). Other recent touring activities include appearances in Ohio, New York, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and New Mexico. Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings has worked with a variety of guest artists, including Ruth Laredo, Ida Kavafian, James Tocco, Ani Kavafian, Julius Baker, Paul Schoenfield, Seymour Lipkin, Peter Oundjian and Miriam Fried.
