  • About the Artists

    • The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet, founded in 1988, is the first permanently established wind quintet in the Berlin Philharmonic's rich tradition of chamber music. Their television productions and radio broadcasts are seen and heard throughout Europe and North America, and their CD recordings on the BIS label have received critical accolades world wide.

    A native of California, Jon Nakamatsu claimed a distinguished place on the international musical scene in June, 1997, when named the Gold Medalist of the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. A former high-school German teacher, he became a popular hero overnight in the highly traditional medium of classical music.

    More information about the artists can be found at this site.
