What started in 1985 as an idea by five students has now grown into a musical genre, known all over the world. Over 70 reed quintets have followed in Calefax’s footsteps, and to celebrate this growth, Calefax has launched reedquintet.net—the official platform for the International Reed Quintet Network.
This platform serves as a hub for musicians, programmers, and audiences, showcasing the evolution of the reed quintet over the past 40 years. It also fosters collaboration among ensembles by providing a growing database of repertoire and sheet music, making it easier than ever to connect, share knowledge, and expand the genre’s reach. Have a look at www.reedquintet.net. And if your reed quintet is not presented on our platform already, don’t hesitate to get in touch to become part of this ever-growing network!
