Ben Seavello – Cityscape (world premiere)
Onomatopoeia (all alternate spellings accepted) is Cassie Lear (flutes), Soren Hamm (saxophones), and Rebecca Olason (horn). Faced with a menagerie of seldom-paired instruments and no repertoire whatsoever, these award-winning soloists and longtime friends came together anyways to experiment with new ensemble timbres. When we formed, there was nothing in the classical repertoire written or arranged for their instrumentation. They devised creative solutions; transcribing some old pieces, arranging others, and are currently busy commissioning new works from living composers.
