UTOPIA WINDS

Utopia Winds is an ensemble of clarinetists playing primarily music written for clarinet quartet and trios, as well as transcriptions from classical and popular genres. The group performs throughout the NYC metropolitan area... Although utopia means "nowhere," we think clarinet quartets should be everywhere - our goal is to present live performances of music for any combination of four clarinets. Founded in 2007, Utopia Winds has more than 300 pieces in our active repertoire, which spans several centuries and includes compositions written specifically for our instruments, transcriptions of famous string quartets, and arrangements of jazz and pop standards. When not "quartetting," the members of Utopia Winds perform with orchestras, opera companies, and other ensembles in the New York area. Collectively, we have decades of professional experience.
