      Praised by the Los Angeles Times for delivering “chamber music as it was meant to be,” the Dorian Wind Quintet is one of the world’s premier and longest continuously active chamber ensembles. Founded at Tanglewood in 1961, the Quintet has toured extensively across the United States and internationally, making history in 1981 as the first wind quintet to perform at Carnegie Hall. Celebrated for both artistry and advocacy of new music, the ensemble has commissioned nearly 40 works from leading composers including Luciano Berio, Joan Tower, and George Perle, whose Wind Quintet No. 4 earned the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Equally known for their artistry across a wide range of repertoire, Aaron Copland said it best: “The Dorian’s performances of music of all periods are an invaluable asset to our present-day musical scene.”
