Ensemble bio:
With style and grace, Calico Winds is taking wind music to the
forefront of the chamber music world by artfully reinventing the conventional
wind quintet.
They
chose the name “Calico” to reflect the many colors and textures offered by the
instruments of their ensemble. The group blends top-notch playing, great music
and an appealing atmosphere, their repertoire incorporating a wide variety of
classical music. “They cross all the style lines and get away with it.” (Los
Angeles Times).
Calico
Winds have delighted audiences across the country, touring to more than half
the fifty states, including numerous cities throughout their home state of
California. They are currently ensemble-in-residence at Glendale Noon Concerts.
Said of their program, “The artists played in perfect balance with each other,
each contributing lovely tone quality and flawless intonation. An unusually
fine and beautiful program…played with rock-solid competence and interpretive
flair. It was a fantastic evening of music.” (The Times Herald, Olean, NY)
In
2009 Calico Winds were concerto soloists with Frank Fetta conducting the Culver
City Symphony, premiering Sinfonia Concertante for wind quintet and orchestra,
a work they commissioned from Los Angeles composer Damian Montano. The ensemble
performed at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall both as part of the “Classical
Connections” Young Performers Career Advancement program sponsored by the
Association of Performing Arts Presenters and in recital with pianist Vivian
Liu in a performance of Ludwig Thuille’s Romantic Sextet.
In
1998 Calico Winds released their first CD, All in One [Bach, Nielsen, E.
Carter, L. Schifrin, Zappa] to critical acclaim. Their second CD, released on
Albany Records (2004), Vintage America: A Musical Meritage, features a diverse
collection of original and arranged works reflecting the music and life of
early Americans. In this recording “Calico Winds bring refreshing lightness to
music that is too often bellowed…the quintet’s suave phrasing, lively
articulation and rhythmic buoyancy are a delight throughout.” (Gramophone)
Calico
Winds has held residencies at La Sierra University, the Idyllwild Arts Academy
and with the Claremont Youth Symphony Music Retreat in California as well as at
the Birch Creek Music Festival in Door County, Wisconsin. They have been the
featured ensemble for the Coleman Chamber Music Association’s Meet the
Musicians concerts. As winners of the 1998 National Flute Association (NFA)
Chamber Music Competition the ensemble was featured in recital at the NFA
convention in Phoenix, Arizona. They have received a grant from the City of
Pasadena for The Weekend Muse Inter-Generational Concerts, a series they
self-produced in Los Angeles and Pasadena.
The
members of Calico Winds think of themselves as a team whose sum is greater than
its parts. Despite their resisting the publishing of individual bios,
presenters and audience members continue to be interested in each person on
stage. To satisfy this curiosity, they have developed “Calico Stats” (vital
statistics of each member) which you can view on their website calicowinds.com.
Here
is some information about them as individuals:
Between
the five of them they have earned one Bachelor of Arts, four Bachelors of
Music, four Masters of Music and one (almost two) Doctor of Musical Arts
degrees. Their combined musical travels have brought them from Europe to
Israel to Mexico and all over North America. They are all active free-lance
players in Los Angeles, together having a diverse array of musical experiences
from ensembles such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Diego Symphony and Los
Angeles Opera, to working with performers like Yanni, Michael Crawford, Cheap
Trick, Elton John and Andrea Bocelli. All of them teach.
Eileen
is a professional vocalist, Theresa is a gourmet cook, Kay and Rachel run the
business of Calico Winds. Ted is a parent to Lewis, born in December, 2011. Kay
and Theresa are each parents of dogs. They all enjoy hiking, a good cup of
coffee, and fine food and spirits, such as their signature cocktail, Calico Tea,
their “special” recipe for Calico Coffee, and their Calico Wings flambé, all
recipes found on calicowinds.com.
