About

The Pentatonic Woodwinds was formed in September 2024 with two missions: to share an appreciation for woodwinds in the Chinese community and to promote Chinese music and culture in the Omaha Metro area. This quintet, consisting of a flute, an oboe, and three clarinets, is dedicated to both arrangements of traditional Chinese music and modern compositions inspired by Chinese culture.
