Dynamic playing and virtuosity meet in this exciting young ensemble of world-class musicians. The members of Elameno Quintet have toured nationally and internationally with a wide variety of musical projects, and come together to tour this summer. The energy and entrancing sound Elameno creates has sparked rave reviews from the first performance.

Stunning improvisation on the flute, mesmerizing guitar, soulful cello lines, bass as youve never heard it before and percussion to knock your socks off. The modern acoustic originals of Elameno Quintet encompass sounds from Jazz and Arabic to Flamenco, Brazilian and Irish.
