  • Valerie Coleman Has Been Making Her Mark As a Fine Flutist in Contemporary Music, the Flute Is Not Her Only, Or Even Her Primary, Medium of Expression
    December 2008 VALERI E COLEMAN: REVITALIZING THE WOODWIND QUINTET by Peter Westbrook Reprinted with permission from the spring 2008 issue of The Flutist Quarterly. lute performance, composing, Imani Winds, and the desire to bring great music to margin- Falized communities are among the passions that drive this determined musician. As her ensemble enters its second decade, the self-described “average flutist” is sowing rewards for her steady, hard work. Although Valerie Coleman has been making her mark as a fine flutist in contemporary music, the flute is not her only, or even her primary, medium of expression. For the past 10 years, Coleman’s hand has been at the helm of the award-winning woodwind quintet Imani Winds, which provides an outlet for her not only as flutist but also as composer, arranger, and visionary. In Concert The success of the group as it embarks on its second decade—thus far it has Imani Winds received a Grammy nomination, in 2006, Valerie Coleman, flute; Toyin Spellman-Diaz, oboe; and two ASCAP/Chamber Music America Mariam Adam, clarinet; Jeff Scott, French horn; Monica Ellis, bassoon awards—is a testament to that vision. For as long as Coleman can remember, Sunday, December 14, 2008, 5:30 pm flute performance and composition have Yamaha Piano Salon, 689 Fifth Avenue vied equally for her attention. When I (entrance on 54th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues) asked her if she thought of herself as a flutist/composer or composer/flutist she Afro Blue Mongo Santamaria (1917-2003) could not make a choice; both are very arr.

  • About Imani Winds
    Presents Imani Winds Rhythm and Song The Influence of the African Diaspora on Classical Music Wednesday, April 30, 2008 10am in Bowker Auditorium Study Guides for Teachers are also available on our website at www.fineartscenter.com - select For School Audiences under Education, then select Resource Room. Please fill out our online surveys at http://www.umass.edu/fac/centerwide/school/index.html for the Registration Process and each Event. Thank you! The Arts and Education Program of the Fine Arts Center is sponsored by ABOUT IMANI WINDS Formed in 1997, IMANI WINDS is a woodwind quintet of young, hip, and adventurous classically‐trained musicians of color. Demonstrating that classical music is much more diverse that usually thought of, Imani Winds performs compositions that push the boundaries of a traditional wind‐quintet repertoire. They play jazz, contemporary music, spirituals, works by African and Latin‐American composers and European compositions with a worldly influence. They strive to illuminate the connection between culture from the African Diaspora and classical music. Imani Winds has carved out a distinct presence in the classical music world for their dynamic playing, culturally poignant programming and inspirational outreach programs, which they have brought to many communities throughout the country. THE MUSICIANS Valerie Coleman, flute A native of Kentucky, flutist and composer Valerie began her music studies in third grade. By the age of fourteen, she had written three symphonies and had won several local and state competitions. Valerie is the founder of Imani Winds and an active composer and educator. Toyin Spellman‐Diaz, oboe Toyin started her musical career as a flute player in her middle school band in Washington, DC, but when she noticed there were dozens of flute players and only two oboe players, she decided to switch to the oboe—and hoped she would be given more solos as a result! Toyin grew to love the oboe, excelled at playing, and had the opportunity to perform internationally at a young age.
