The Atéa Quintet are the foremost British wind quintet of their generation. Internationally acclaimed, they were double prize winners at the 2015 Karl Nielsen International Chamber Music Competition in Denmark. As the Associate Ensemble in Residence at the Birmingham Conservatoire and Quintet in Residence at the Purcell School, they mentor some of the finest up-and-coming musicians in the country.

Since it’s formation in 2009, the Atéa Quintet has performed in some of the finest halls in the world. Highlights include a critically acclaimed Friday night recital at the Wigmore Hall, performances at the Cheltenham, Brighton and Lake District Summer Festivals and concerts in St Martin in the Fields, Bridgewater Hall and St John’s Smith Square. Seasons in recent years have included a tour to the Czech Republic and a residency at the Two Moors Festival.

Brought together by their communal love of wind chamber music, members of the Atéa Quintet have individually received several prizes in international competitions and played with all of the country’s leading orchestras.

The Atéa Quintet is eternally grateful for support received from the Tunnell Trust, Kirckman Concert Society, New Dots and Live Music Now.
