Newman Center Presents: Boston Brass & Imani Winds - Miles Davis & Gil Evans' "Porgy & Bess" and "Sketches of Spain"

Newman Center for the Performing Arts

Co-Presented with Augustana Arts

This show is a collaboration between Boston Brass and Imani Winds performing their own arrangements of Miles Davis' and Gil Evans' legendary albums Porgy and Bess (1958) and Sketches of Spain (1960).

For nearly 25 years, Boston Brass has set out to establish a one-of-a-kind musical experience. From exciting classical arrangements, to burning jazz standards, and the best of the original brass quintet repertoire, Boston Brass treats audiences to a unique brand of entertainment, which captivates all ages.

More than North America's premier wind quartet, Imani Winds has established itself as one of the most successful chamber music ensembles in the United States. Since 1997, the GRammy nominated quintet had taken a unique path, carving out a distinct presence in the classical music world with its dynamic playing, culturally poignant programming, genre-blurring collaborations, and inspriational outreach programs.

"The ensemble (Boston Brass) played with brash abandon at times, then with feathery gentleness." - Salt Lake Tribune

"Their performances (Imani Winds) are nothing short of life affirming." - Minnesota Public Radio
