BEACON – The Howland Chamber Music Circle (HCMC) closes its 2024-2025 chamber series with Imani Winds, at the Howland Cultural Center on Sunday, May 18, at 4 pm. Following the concert, audience members can meet the musicians and enjoy complementary refreshments. All ticket holders are invited to the reception. To purchase a ticket, visit www.howlandmusic.org. The Howland Cultural Center is at 477 Main Street in Beacon.
The quintet is widely celebrated for its embrace of traditional classical repertoire, newly commissioned works, and re-arrangements of contemporary greats. For this performance, Imani Winds will play works by Valerie Coleman (a founder of the quintet, no longer performing with them); Kalevi Aho (a contemporary Finnish composer); Paquito D’Rivera (composed for the quintet); Stevie Wonder (arranged by a member of the quintet); Fazil Say (a contemporary from Turkey); and Simon Shaheen (a contemporary Palestinian-American, arranged by a former member of Imani Winds).
HCMC now offers tickets at prices to include music lovers who may have been unable to afford our tickets in the past. A limited number of tickets will be available on a pay-what-you-wish basis. These tickets will be released one week prior to each concert.
