About Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet
The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet was founded in 1988 — during the Herbert von Karajan era — and was the first permanently established wind quintet in the famous orchestra’s affluent tradition of chamber music.
Up until 2009, the quintet included the four original founding members until Marion Reinhard succeeded bassoonist Henning Trog. The group is led by Musical Directors Claudio Abbado and Sir Simon Rattle.
Chamber Music Columbus says, “The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet continues to astonish worldwide with their range of expression, their tonal spectrum and their conceptual unity. Indeed, many listeners and critics agree that the ensemble has succeeded in virtually redefining the sound of the classic wind quintet.”
The group has had multiple concert appearances throughout Europe, North and South America, Israel, Australia, and the Far East. They are also popular among the international festivals, such as Berliner Festwochen, the Edinburgh Festival, the London Proms, the Quintette-Biennale Marseille, the Rheingau Festival and the Salzburg Festival.
However, the Berlin Philharmonic is not just a quintet, they are also teachers. They host chamber music workshops and instrumental instruction in many countries.
