Mission Statement
Aspen Winds views chamber music as a conversation between friends.Each member of the quintet plays a valuable role in the success of each concert. We enjoy learning new repertoire and working together to make musical decisions. Sometimes this involves negotiations and compromises. Being a member of a chamber group means that you are a valuable part of a team.
