With style and grace, Calico Winds is taking wind music to the forefront of the chamber music world by artfully reinventing the conventional wind quintet. They chose the name “Calico” to reflect the many colors and textures offered by the sounds of the wind quintet. The ensemble blends top-notch playing, great music and an appealing atmosphere, their repertoire incorporating a wide variety of classical music. “They cross all the style lines and get away with it.” (Los Angeles Times). In 1998 Calico Winds released their first CD, All in One [Bach, Nielsen, E. Carter, L. Schifrin, Zappa] to critical acclaim. Their second CD, released on Albany Records in August, 2004, Vintage America: A Musical Meritage, features a diverse collection of original and arranged works reflecting the music and life of early Americans. In January, 2002 Calico Winds was honored by the Association of Performing Arts Presenters with a fully-produced showcase performance at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall as part of the “Classical Connections” Young Performers Career Advancement program. They returned to Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, later that year, joining pianist Vivian Liu in a performance of Ludwig Thuille’s romantic Sextet. They have delighted audiences across the country, touring to more than half the fifty states, including numerous cities throughout their home state of California. Calico Winds has held residencies at La Sierra University, the Idyllwild Arts Academy and with the Claremont Youth Symphony Music Camp in California as well as at the Birch Creek Music Festival in Door County, Wisconsin. As winners of the 1998 National Flute Association (NFA) Chamber Music competition, the ensemble was featured in recital at the NFA convention in Phoenix, Arizona. They have received a grant from the City of Pasadena for The Weekend Muse Inter-Generational Concerts, their series based in Los Angeles and Pasadena.
