The ensemble is committed to presenting top tier performances of todays best contemporary composition, showcasing the vast possibilities of the reed quintet with an emphasis on commissioning new works, collaborating with fellow musicians and artists, and educating the next generation of musicians and music enthusiasts. The sum of their wide ranges of experience—in settings including free jazz, improvisation, electronic music, pop, punk and metal as well as classical—has also enabled them to rapidly zero in on a specific and unique aesthetic identity. Splinter Reeds will present five pieces of new music by living composers in a program that combines post-minimalism, heavy metal, songwriting, and improvisation.
