The Kalliope Reed Quintet, founded in 2019, is the first professional reed quintet in New England. As a contemporary chamber ensemble and one of the first 50 reed quintets worldwide, their mission is to expand and diversify the reed quintet repertoire and to further strengthen the role of contemporary chamber music in the 21st century by presenting unique, engaging and educational programs to communities locally and worldwide.
Persevering through the many unexpected challenges of 2020, the Kalliope Reed Quintet commissioned and arranged over 20 new works for reed quintet, presented a six concert online summer series, founded the Kalliope Trio and received funding to record their first album featuring all original reed quintets. Last summer’s online concert series featured three world premieres of works by living composers and Kalliope looks forward to many more in their 2021 summer season.
