Indigo Wind Quintet is a trailblazing wind chamber ensemble reshaping what chamber music sounds, looks, and feels like. Through inclusive performance, radical accessibility, and community-centered collaboration, Indigo Wind is committed to decolonizing the chamber music experience and amplifying the voices of underrepresented composers and communities. Founded in New York City in 2025, the group comprises five accomplished artists and educators: Kyrese Washington (flute), Matthew Maroon (oboe), Elia Foster (clarinet), Aliyah Danielle (horn), and Rosalie M. Avery (bassoon).
