“most refined arrangements, fresh and vivid performances and a marvellous recorded sound”
Carion Wind Quintet is an award-winning Danish-Latvian ensemble which brings a truly unique and innovative chamber music experience to audiences. Carion fascinates audiences with its carefully choreographed and dramatized performances of classical and modern works, making music on stage visible and adding a new dimension of traditional concert events.
Carion Wind Quintet’s trademark is its unusual way of presenting on stage: without music stands or chairs, there is space for nuanced choreography that adds a theatrical element to the music. Musical structures are visualized through steps, movements and formations and the distribution of roles within the instruments is made visible, inspiring and delighting audiences and critics alike.
Carion Wind Quintet has performed to critical acclaim in Europe’s most prestigious festivals such as the BBC Proms, Rheingau Festival, Kissinger Sommer, Beethovenfest Bonn, Bergen Festival, and Helsinki Festival. Carion has also performed in Dubai and Japan. The ensemble has received first prizes at the Danish Radio Chamber Music Competition and the Marco Fiorindo Competition in Italy.
Carion collaborated with electronica guru Bjørn Svin, as well as legendary flutist Sir James Galway and the Leipziger Streichquartett.
Since Carion Wind Quintet’s formation in 2002, the ensemble has released five albums, receiving stellar reviews from Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine, among others. Carion also presents its dynamic music videos on its YouTube channel, accumulating almost 4 million views.
“the players, all secure in technique and beautiful in tone, combine with immaculate attack, balance and tuning, as well as a sense of shared purpose”
