The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet's Boston debut wound up Friday evening with two encores. The idea for the first, fittingly, came to the group during their visit to Symphony Hall in November (also a Celebrity Series of Boston performance, ahem). Members of the ensemble ran into Gunther Schuller roaming Symphony Hall (ok, I made the roaming part up, but they did meet Schuller) and decided to play his Blues for Wind Quintet when they returned the Boston.
The second encore came form the pen of Brazilian composer Julio Medaglia, a friend of the ensemble. Tango el Porsche Negro is a kind of tribute to a former BPWQ member's automobile.
