The Pavlova Wind Quintet is an established Oxford-based ensemble of exceptional musicians with a wealth of experience of playing at corporate and University functions, weddings, garden parties, and formal dinners. The Pavlova also regularly performs full concert programmes across the region.

The group's impressively broad repertoire includes music in a huge variety of styles from arrangements of light-hearted favourite tunes to the more substantial classics for wind quintet. The Pavlova Wind Quintet delights in mixing the familiar and the unfamiliar, classical and ethnic, serene and virtuosic.

Ian Brown, pianist of the Nash Ensemble, helped us celebrate our 10th Anniversary on 20 November 2009, at the Holywell Music Room, Oxford.

Poulenc Sextuor, Roussel Divertissement for piano and wind, Latin American music for quintet by Medaglia, d'Rivera and Piazzolla
