Valerie Coleman & Friends

In partnership with the Chamber Music Pittsburgh, we are pleased to present RÊVERIE: Dreams of Harlem and Paris, featuring three founding members of Imani Winds. Rêverie returns to the early twentieth century through the perspectives of Black artists at the center of “Le Jazz Hot” and the legendary Harlem Renaissance. Valerie Coleman, GRAMMY-nominated founding flutist of Imani Winds, is a multi-talented composer, musician, and educator who was named Performance Today’s 2020 Classical Woman of the Year. This sizzling program brings together six powerhouse artists to perform three of Coleman’s compositions and works by Ravel, Debussy and Grant Still.
