We Shall Overcome!

Part of the Skaneateles Festival Concert – Wind quintet Imani Winds presentsTake a break from your afternoon and join the world-renowned Imani Winds for a casual mini-concert featuring a selection of powerful and communicative music. The name Imani means “faith” in Swahili, and subtly mirrors the African-American and Latin American backgrounds of the group’s five players: flutist Valerie Coleman, oboist Toyin Spellman-Diaz, clarinetist Mariam Adam, hornist Jeff Scott, and bassoonist Monica Ellis. They’ll perform and discuss musical expressions of faith, heritage, and social injustice, from Negro spirituals to a piece written by their own Valerie Coleman. It will be a deeply thoughtful experience that you won’t want to miss!  Free, noon.
