Eros Wind Quintet

Jessie-May Wilson   flute

Mariam Jackson   oboe

Sam Austin   clarinet 

Beatriz Carvalho   bassoon

Dominic Allison   French horn

The Eros Quintet formed in the Autumn of 2021, as a means of playing and performing together in the wake of a turbulent couple of years. Since then, they have enjoyed working together on a variety of projects and exploring the full range of repertoire for the ensemble.

As a collective, their ambition is to broaden the horizons of wind quintet writing, and to play their part in securing the future of wind quintet music. They have recently commissioned a piece by composer, Flowers Tannenbaum, and are looking to premier this in the near future. They hope to be in a position to use their platform to promote new music from less established composers, whilst embracing the ensemble’s roots.
