Workshop: Sound visions - The woodwind quintet Dandelion plays music of the future

In search of natural lightness, the ensemble, founded in Munich in 2018, embodies virtuosity and joy of playing in the context of a colorful variety of sounds that can only be experienced in the field of chamber music with a woodwind quintet. The ensemble studied at the HfMT Munich in the chamber music class of Prof. Reto Bieri and has in the past received inspiration from Eberhard Marschall, Andrea Lieberknecht, Eberhard Feltz, Konstantia Gourzi and Dag Jensen, among others. The Dandelion Quintet performs regularly at home and abroad and has been a chamber music partner of renowned artists such as Margarita Höhenrieder, with whom it has performed in the Bibiliothek Hall in Polling. The Dandelion Quintet is 1st prize winner of the international competition Ars Ventus BIMC 2019 for woodwind quintet, which it won with the highest number of points awarded. In 2023, the ensemble will present a chamber music series for contemporary music together with the Feet Become Ears collective. In this context, the quintet awarded numerous commissions to young composers, which it premiered in February 2023 at the Center for Interdisciplinary Spatial and Cultural Work (Zirka) in Munich. In February 2024, the five musicians released their debut album Windspiel.
