Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Wind Quintet

**Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Wind Quintet** brings together principal players from Sweden's acclaimed Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, showcasing their world-class musicianship in chamber music settings. This tight-knit crew – typically featuring flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn – balances classical gems (like their crisp take on Carl Nielsen’s iconic Wind Quintet) with modern Nordic works, such as Anders Hillborg’s angular *Six Pieces* or Marie Samuelsson’s playful *Cat: Nine Lives*. They’ve built a discography that zigzags between reverence for staples (Poulenc’s witty sonatas, Ligeti’s quirky textures) and advocacy for newer Scandinavian voices. Whether breathing new life into Reicha’s Classical-era harmonies or diving into atmospheric contemporary compositions, these players prove that wind quintets can be both a cozy throwback and a bold laboratory for sonic experimentation.
