Imani Wind Quintet: with Anne-Marie McDermott

Imani is a Swahili word meaning "faith," and the Grammy-nominated Imani Wind Quintet has long shown its faith in the future of classical music by commissioning new works from many of today's composers, including Imani's own flutist, Valerie Coleman, whose Tzigane was inspired by the music of the Romani (gypsy) people. Joining the Quintet is pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, of whom BBC Music Magazine said "McDermott's heart has heft and translucence, structural certainly and seasoned humanity."
