Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet

The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet was founded in 1988, during the era of Herbert von Karajan, and is the first permanently established wind quintet in the famous orchestra’s rich tradition of chamber music.

“Arguably the best ensemble of its kind in the world.” Manchester Evening News

“It is rare to hear man perfectly integrated with music—when the two are so inextricably linked, so aware yet selfless, that distinctions between them are rendered meaningless. Such communion was achieved by the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet. It was a concert not to be forgotten.” Washington Post
