Hello world,
After almost a year of long rehearsals, new and exciting music, and many group trips to Chipotle, we’re so excited to finally have an online presence! Through our website and various social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), we’ll be documenting our journey through the world of contemporary chamber music, one saxophone reed at a time.
What are we currently up to? On November 12th, we’ll be playing a concert of premieres by our friends Chris Misch-Bloxdorf, Patrick Marschke, Marshall Yoes, Dominic Ellis, and Jason Koth. All either current or former peers of ours at Lawrence University, these pieces were written specifically for us by the people who know our playing better than almost anyone else. We are so excited to share both their hard work and ours with the Appleton community! The concert will be at 8:00 p.m. in Harper Hall at Lawrence University.
Looking forward, we’ve already got a whole bunch of things in the works for 2016! We’ll be taking our show on the road to several universities across the Midwest at the end of March, and we’ll be spending most of the spring working on a project that will have us improvising and composing along with a few of our friends in both the visual arts and dance worlds. We can’t wait!
In the meantime, check out our recordings of David Werfelmann’s Light and Shade, and John Mayrose’s Slipstream (the piece that inspired our name) on our “Listen” page. Also written specifically for us, these pieces will be at the heart of our group for a long time, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with as such wonderful artists as David and John. We hope you enjoy them!
