Imani Winds is not your typical chamber music ensemble. One might say they're musicians on a mission.
As North America's premier wind quintet, Imani is known for adventurous programming that spans classical, jazz and spirituals, incorporating African, Latin American and American influences. The five classical virtuosi who comprise the group have made it their business to expand the repertoire for wind ensembles worldwide, by composing and arranging music for themselves, as well as commissioning composers from a wide variety of genres.
They make a rare appearance in the Detroit area on two consecutive nights with different programs that reflect the diversity of their interests.

On Saturday, February 8 at 8 PM they collaborate with pianist Gilbert Kalish on a program of classical and contemporary works at Seligman Performing Arts Center in Beverly Hills.
