2011-2012 Fine Arts Season Performance

Presented in partnership with the Butler School of Music

Texas Performing Arts welcomes back for a command performance the ensemble that has virtually redefined the sound of the classic wind quintet. 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.

The program will include works by Mozart and Ligeti.

“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
