🚨Double bar line 🚨 A new double reed sextet for 2 oboes, 2 English horns, and 2 bassoons!

It was amazing getting to work on and record this amazing new duo!! Check it out! It’s perfect for a bunch of performance opportunities and SUPER fun to play!

Auditions done! Recording for a festival this week and then we play the wait game for a lot of things 😮‍💨

Back to mulling over ideas and decisions in my head for a new piece…the clearer the mental image the better the performance 😅
