Chineke! Wind Quintet perform music from Mexico, France and the American south.

A spirited and varied concert by the Chineke! Wind Quintet, recorded at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Five principal players from the Chineke! Orchestra perform character pieces by Ligeti, musical sketches by Indian composer John Mayer and William Grant Still's quietly spiritual depiction of the afterlife, written for his wife Verna Arvey.  The concert closes with Valerie Coleman's work that 'merges classical technique and orchestration with the blues dialect and charm of the south'.
