Dal Niente Presents Double Reeds and Friends
About
**Ensemble Dal Niente’s** double reed dream team, Andrew Nogal (oboe) and Ben Roidl-Ward (bassoon), assemble some of their favorite collaborators for a program of boundary-breaking chamber music and also showcase their solo virtuosity. Seattle-based composer Joël-François Durand’s brand new score for the Chicago Wind Project puts microtonal harmony and resonance under a microscope. The bearded double reed luminaries complement Durand’s sensuous and detailed score with pieces by four other leading international voices in contemporary composition and experimental music.
