Musical Arts Quintet

The Musical Arts Woodwind Quintet (MAQ) is one of the country’s oldest and most distinguished chamber ensembles of its kind. Established in 1957 as faculty ensemble in residence at Ball State University, the quintet has gained national attention for its varied programming, including the traditional quintet repertoire with new works written by contemporary American composers. In 2010 MAQ was awarded an American Masterpieces grant from the National Endowment for the Arts which supported their recording for Albany, "American Breeze."
