Wayward Music Series: Trio de Bois

Trio de Bois presents an evening of new music for reed trio (bassoon, oboe, clarinet) featuring an international roster of living composers and highlighting works commissioned for their groundbreaking Call for Scores commission project. Featured composers are Adrienne Albert, Reed Hanna, Jon Grier, and Adi Traar.

This recital represents the culmination of three years of work in commissioning and premiering 30 new pieces into the canon for bassoon, oboe, and clarinet ensemble. When this project began at the onset of the COVID lockdown in April of 2020, the ensemble learned to adapt rehearsals to an online format to make preparations from their isolated locations in three different states. The musicians of Trio de Bois have honed this process of rehearsing from Utah, Washington, and Texas, bringing in composers from around the world through Zoom to collaborate and create. After three years of virtual rehearsal and preparation, they are finally able to come together for the first time in person to perform selections from this project live and in concert.
