The Aeros Quintet, an imaginative and dynamic all female wind quintet, performs a wide range of chamber music including classical, contemporary, jazz-inspired and music from around the world. Formed in 2005 at the Manhattan School of Music, the Aeros Quintet combines expert musicianship with intelligence and a keen sense of humor to delight and inspire their audiences.
The Aeros Quintet is deeply committed to arts education and was the winner of the 2006 92nd Street Y's Music Unlocked! Competition for emerging ensembles interested in outreach. In addition to performing in the 92nd Street Y’s Musicial Introduction Series, the group has brought programs into hospitals, churches, schools and community centers throughout the tri-state area and are on the Artists Roster of Young Audiences, New York.
The Aeros Quintet has a strong interest in promoting new music and will be showcasing two winners of the 2007 Aeros Quintet composers competition in their Carnegie Hall Zankel Hall debut in May 2008. The competition was a resounding success and much to the astonishment of the quintet, attracted over 150 entries from countries as far flung as Australia, Croatia, Sweden, the UK and Japan. As well as actively searching for new music to perform, the Quintet enjoys collaborating with other Artist’s musical and compositional ventures and will shortly be featured on The Hot Club of San Francisco’s upcoming recording.
The group has had the privilege of working with a number of highly esteemed coaches and mentors including David Krakauer, Frank Morelli and members of Music Unlocked!. Members of the Quintet have participated in the Pacific Music Festival, International Orchestral Institute Attergau, National Orchestral Institute, Brevard, Kent-Blossom and Sarasota Chamber Music Festival. In addition to their work together as an ensemble, all five musicians have active freelance careers.
