"This is one quintet that is sure to leave you breathless."
-- Maggie Malloy, Second Inversion
“This quintet plays with an extraordinary sense of ensemble, not just in terms of rhythmic precision but in tone color, balance, gesture, and sensitivity.”
-- Sidney Chen, NewMusicBox
The City of Tomorrow is a new breed of woodwind quintet — boldly innovative, theatrically adventurous, and committed to reimagining the possibilities of chamber music in the 21st century. Known for their “ferocious ensemble precision” and “exhilarating performances,” the ensemble brings together five outstanding musicians united by a passion for contemporary music and a belief that art can — and should — engage with the most pressing issues of our time.
Winners of the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and recognized across North America for their visionary programming, The City of Tomorrow specializes in works that push the boundaries of the woodwind quintet. From immersive electroacoustic experiences to works confronting climate change and social justice, their repertoire is as intellectually engaging as it is sonically captivating.
Equally at home in concert halls, experimental venues, and site-specific environments, The City of Tomorrow invites audiences to join them on a journey into the future of classical music—where tradition meets innovation, and where bold ideas find their voice through wind and breath.
