A reed quintet with passion for diverse programming and exciting new music from all over the world

  • 2022
  • Netherlands


Vector Quintet consists of five passionate reed players who, in addition to playing top-level music, aim to connect people through music. All members play an important role in the programming and the music chosen is often a reflection of the different ethnicities, origins and backgrounds of the individuals in the group. In addition to the regular concert programs, Vector also wants to focus on educational projects and foreign tours. The quintet received a grant from the NORMA fund in 2023 with which it could realize its own project.
