Arundo5

Arundo5 is a professional reed quintet with a fresh, engaging approach to chamber music, bringing performances, collaborations and creative projects to a wide range of audiences.

Arundo5 reed quintet outdoors, smiling on a sunny day before a concert in the Peak Distict, with oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bass clarinet and bassoon.

Five reeds,
One distinctive sound

From classical and contemporary repertoire to our own arrangements, Arundo5 combines the colours of the oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bass clarinet and bassoon in a sound that is warm, vibrant and surprisingly versatile.
