The Midnight Winds is a Los Angeles based ensemble. Their diverse performances include countless
premieres, outreach programs and several short-film soundtracks. 2008 marked
the ensemble’s first international tour where they presented concerts and
workshops throughout Poland. They maintain a strong relationship
with the Polish Consulate of Los Angeles and the Polish Music Center where they
frequently collaborate with international artists and composers. They
have been featured guest artists at the Paderewski Festival, California Institute
of the Arts, LACMA’s Sundays Live, Los Angeles City College, an educational
outreach residency through Orchestras of Pasadena and quintet-in-residence for
Chamber Music Sedona, Arizona. The ensemble recently premiered and recorded a new
commission by Emmy award winning composer Steve Cohn, a work written
specifically for them. They were selected by Young Artist
International to appear in recital throughout Southern California in 2008. For more information on the accomplishments and activities of the Midnight Winds musicians, please view our website at www.midnightquintet.com
