Description

One of America's most distinguished chamber ensembles, Zéphyros Winds brings together five of the finest wind virtuosos of their generation. Winning both the First and Grand Prizes at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, Zéphyros Winds became the first wind quintet in the competition's 22-year history to do so. They made their New York debut in 1997 at Merkin Concert Hall, and began extensive touring throughout the United States. Internationally, they have performed in China and Europe, including a gala event celebrating the centenary of Francis Poulenc's birth. Their live recording of Irving Fine's ''Partita for Woodwind Quintet,'' was released on Bridge Records.
