We're incredibly grateful for such a successful year. Some large projects wrapped up in 2018, which means the quintet is already getting new and exciting ideas rolling for 2019... https://t.co/AusksYf57Y

[District5 @D5quintet]

Looking back on the best of 2018... 2018 saw the world premiere of our CMA commission w/ Evis Sammoutis, the release of our debut album Chopin Preludes for wq (https://t.co/nN9Qyt50hM), lots of laughs, and lots of good music. District5 had a great year. Thank you everyone!

[District5 @D5quintet]

Our first album has been our 6 months today! Woohoo! 💥
