About this Event

In this concert, the audience will experience contemporary classical chamber music performed by the oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bass clarinet, and bassoon. Vanguard Reed Quintet will premiere two works by Michigan-based comopser Grey Grant: an original reed quintet, Futch; and an arrangement of their saxophone quartet, There Was a Mystic Reality We Lived in Once. Also on the program are two works inspired by nature: selections from the tree-based minimalistic Splinter by Marc Mellits; and Thaw by Beck Turro, which evokes scenes from their trip to the Acadia National Park. Closing the show will be a suite from Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera.

Vanguard is thrilled to be joined by saxophonist Brian Kachur and bassoonist Natalie Law for this concert!
