Imani Winds (Valerie Coleman, flute; Toyin Spellman-Diaz, oboe; Mariam Adam, clarinet; Monica Ellis, bassoon; Jeff Scott, horn)

The five accomplished musicians of Imani Winds expand the boundaries of the traditional wind quintet and explore the links between European, African and American music traditions. This young ensemble of African/Latin American heritage is known for their dynamic performances, innovative programming and inspirational outreach programs. In this fun program, the ensemble introduces young people to the wind instruments and performs short classical and world music pieces.
