Flutist and composer Valerie Coleman founded
Imani (the word is Swahili for "faith") Winds with a
mission to broaden the scope of classical music, including
the use of call-and-response in performance. The
groups success prompted Andrew Adler to write in the
Louisville Courier-Journal "To every idiom they brought
insight and fluency, wrapped in a gentle imperative
that urged listeners to share their pleasures of ongoing
discovery." "It's some of the most exciting chamber
playing I have heard in a long time, a fresh breeze that
carries the scents of the past and the future" (John
Chacona in the Erie Times-News).
