The Spirati Woodwind Quintet is composed of five LA-based wind players
that hold degrees from UCLA, Rice University, Cal State Fullerton, USC, Lisbon Superior School of Music, University of Illinois, and Cal State Long Beach. Founded in 2009, the Spirati Woodwind Quintet has performed at the Fullerton Friends of Music Concert Series, the Palos Verdes Botanical Gardens Summer Concerts, and in many other events throughout the Southern California area. Members of the Spirati Quintet have also performed with the Pacific Opera Project and the LA Dream Orchestra.
Spirati is a group quite different from other LA based ensembles because of its versatility and flexible repertoire, from an all South-American-Dance theme program,
to storytelling programs for children, and more traditional standard woodwind
quintet programs.
