“Superb… Dazzling… Astonishing… in shifts of tempo and dynamics, I doubt a strand of hair could have been put between the sound of one player and another.” – 
The Indianapolis Star

We are grateful to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for their support of classical music programming at Texas Performing Arts.

Texas Performing Arts welcomes back for a command performance the ensemble that has virtually redefined the sound of the classic wind quintet. The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet return to Texas Performing Arts for one performance only in the intimate Bates Recital Hall on Tuesday, October 18.

The first permanently established wind quintet in the famous orchestra’s history, the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet consistently performs to sold-out houses, astonishing audiences worldwide with their range of expression, tonal spectrum, and conceptual unity. Their repertoire covers the spectrum of the wind quintet literature, and the ensemble’s stellar reputation has led to collaborations with such legendary conductors as Leonard Bernstein, Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Muti, James Levine, and Daniel Barenboim.
