Reedbeat Quintet

The Reedbeat Reed Quintet (from reed – the cane used in woodwind instruments, and beat – tempo, pulse) was founded in 2018. The ensemble consists of five friends brought together by a shared passion for chamber music and the desire to create a unique musical formation. The unconventional combination of five wind instruments is united by a single element – the reed. This small piece of cane sets the air column inside the instrument into vibration, producing sound.

Since April 2019, Reedbeat has been the first reed quintet from Poland to be a member of the Worldwide Reed Quintet Network, an international organization bringing together the finest ensembles of this kind from around the globe. The network was established by the renowned Calefax Reed Quintet.

The members of Reedbeat are winners of national and international chamber music and solo competitions.
