We are delighted to welcome back the wonderful wind quintet Imani Winds with a typically wide-ranging program showcasing works by composer-performers. Including the great American ‘oud player Simon Shaheen, pianist Fazil Say, nonpareil Stevie Wonder, and Imani’s own Valerie Coleman, this will be a wonderful program.
