Imani Winds

One of today's most exciting and talented chamber groups is Imani Winds. The Grammy-nominated ensemble was founded in 1997 by flutist Valerie Coleman. They have cultivated a reputation for their broad repertory that ranges from standard woodwind quintet music, to adaptations of classic works, to contemporary commissions. Today's Beautiful Music features Imani Winds performing a woodwind quintet arrangement of the symphonic suite SCHEHERAZADE by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
