Fivemind Reeds is a Los Angeles-based reed quintet with saxophonist Alexander Lee, clarinetists Darren Liou and Kristine Llanderal, bassoonist Matthew Rasmussen, and oboist Thacher Schreiber. Formed in 2021 at UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music, Fivemind has since performed in several concerts and recitals throughout Los Angeles and the United States. Engagements include the 2022 Imani Winds Chamber Music Festival in New York City, as well as two-time ensemble-in-residence for Interlochen Public Radio’s Sound Garden Project, planting classical music in unexpected places through innovative programming and performances.

Fivemind’s interests lie in bridging the gap between classical and contemporary music, and promoting diversity and equity in the arts through community engagement, expansion of the reed quintet’s repertoire, and revitalization of the age-old traditions of chamber music.
