The charismatic, Grammy Award-winning Imani Winds — known for their role in revolutionizing the woodwind quintet — will captivate listeners with a work by Valerie Coleman and with a compelling transcription of Stravinsky’s groundbreaking Rite of Spring, a piece that shocked audiences at its premiere.
