Aiolos Reed Quintet

Five musicians from four nations create a sound world full of colors and facets. The Aiolos Reed Quintet combines virtuosity with the joy of experimentation and unfolds a completely new sound aesthetic with its rare instrumentation. Sometimes powerful and orchestral, sometimes intimate and delicate – experience chamber music that surprises, moves and inspires.

Named after Aiolos, the god of the winds from Greek mythology, the Aiolos Reed Quintet was founded in the Rhine-Main region in 2024. The ensemble brings together five outstanding musicians from four nations: David Avendaño (Colombia), Julia Büttner (Germany), Naama Caspo Goldstein (Israel), Ivan Petrov (Bulgaria) and Regina Reiter (Germany).

The quintet’s repertoire ranges from contemporary original compositions and arrangements of classical orchestral and piano works to popular music. The Aiolos Reed Quintet pursues a clear vision: to bring the richness of orchestral sound into the world of chamber music, to inspire new works for this colorful but still rare instrumentation and to inspire a wide audience with its sonic possibilities – whether in renowned concert halls or in unexpected, unusual venues.
