About

Left Coast Quintet is a San Diego–based ensemble known for bringing a warm, vibrant, and modern energy to classical music. With flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon, we blend rich colors and expressive storytelling to create engaging performances for concerts, weddings, corporate events, and community programs. Our repertoire ranges from classical favorites to film music to pop covers and contemporary works, and we pride ourselves on crafting experiences that feel personal, welcoming, and musically exceptional. We love connecting with audiences and making great music accessible, memorable, and fun.

Music

We play a wide mix of music, and that variety is a big part of what defines us. Our repertoire spans classical staples, film scores, jazz-inspired arrangements, folk melodies, and contemporary works written specifically for wind quintet. Much of what we perform comes from a modern playbook including covers of the Beatles, Elvis, The Beach Boys, all while throwing in some Mozart, John Williams, and Shostakovich— we love bringing movie music, Broadway tunes, and modern composers into the chamber setting. We regularly commission custom versions of popular pieces, allowing us to tailor our sound to each performance. Whether the music comes from centuries-old traditions or today’s cultural touchstones, we focus on storytelling, color, and connection.
