I believe you are referring to the Dorian Wind Quintet.
 
Members:

Gretchen Pusch, flute
Gerard Reuter, oboe
Jerry Kirkbride, clarinet
Ethan Bauch, bassoon
Nancy Billmann, horn

"Since its inception at Tanglewood in 1961, the Dorian Wind Quintet
has distinguished itself as one of America's foremost ensembles. The
"extraordinary accuracy, homogeneity of ensemble and spirit" (New York
Times) that characterizes Dorian's performances prompted Time Magazine
to hail it as "one of chamber music's most sparkling and eloquent
ensembles".

The Quintet has toured 49 of the 50 United States, and Canada, Europe,
the Middle East, India, Africa and Asia. In 1981 Dorian became the
first wind quintet to appear at Carnegie Hall."
