Quintet Of The Americas

**Quintet of the Americas** is a dynamic wind quintet that’s been blowing fresh air into classical and contemporary music since their formation in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1976. Relocating to New York City in the late ’70s, the group carved out a niche for championing new works and spotlighting music from the Americas, often collaborating with composers like Karel Husa and James Cohn (whose pieces appear on their recent releases). Known for their vibrant performances and cross-cultural curiosity, they’ve embraced everything from Latin American folk influences to avant-garde commissions, all while keeping their flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and French horn interplay tight and engaging. Beyond the stage, they’ve nurtured new generations through educational outreach, making them a beloved fixture in both concert halls and classrooms. With albums like *Dancing in Colombia* and *Self-Portrait*, their recordings reflect their eclectic spirit and commitment to keeping wind quintet music thrillingly alive.
