Works by Aaron Copland, Heitor Villa-lobos, William Grant Still, Jan Bach, Paquito D’Rivera and the World Premiere of Deus ex Machina II for solo bassoon and digital audio by Jason Stanford
Composed of a Professor of Oboe at U.C. Berkeley, a clarinetist who has recorded film scores at Skywalker Ranch and plays with a progressive hip hop ensemble, and woodwind artists who have collectively performed with no less than ten Northern California municipal symphony orchestras from Monterey to Santa Rosa, this engaging group has charmed Bay Area audiences since their formation in 2002. Tonight they present a sampler of musical motifs representing North, Central and South America.
