The Quintessential Winds is a freelancing wind quintet in the Los Angeles area. Originally under the mentorship of Dr. John Barcellona, flutist of the Westwood Wind Quintet, Quintessential Winds developed its national reputation. Recently, the quintet has worked with notable Los Angeles recording artists James Decker, Joseph Stone, and Larry Kaplan. Their ever-expanding repertoire includes standard wind quintet literature, dozens of transcriptions and arrangements, and the original compositions of many notable living composers including Adriana Verdie, Laura Kramer, Philip Sink, and film/world music composer Christopher Caliendo. The members of Quintessential Winds are all freelancing musicians and private instructors in the Los Angeles/Orange County areas; in addition, they are performing and teaching artists for the iVasi video conductor system.
