We’re thrilled to have been awarded a 2017 Commissioning Grant from Chamber Music America to commission and perform a new work for wind quintet by American composer David Sanford. David is one of the most exciting composers working today, combining jazz, funk and modern classical music. We couldn’t think of someone we’d rather write for us. The piece is slated to be completed in late 2018 with performances to follow soon after.
