CONCERT PROGRAM I SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 I 7:30 PM
As a relatively new chamber music genre, the reed quintet is an evolutionary detour from the traditional woodwind quintet with the advantages of a more closely related instrument family.
West Coast’s first reed quintet, formed in 2013 with the coming together of five colleagues highly active in multiple facets of the New Music scene throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and internationally. The sum of their wide ranges of experience—in settings including free improvisation, electronic music, pop, punk, and metal as well as classical—has enabled them to rapidly zero in on a distinct aesthetic identity. Distinguishing themselves amongst even the relatively small number of professional reed quintets currently active worldwide, the ensemble is explicitly dedicated to cutting-edge composition and expanding the existing reed quintet repertoire through the collaborative development of new works by emerging and established composers.

Splinter Reeds has explored the genre’s expansive possibilities in close work with such composers as Amadeus Regucera, Eric Wubbels, Sky Macklay, Paula Matthusen, Marc Mellits, Michael Gordon, Theresa Wong and Ken Ueno, while presenting North American premieres by European-based composers Dai Fujikura, Matthew Shlomowitz, and Yannis Kyriakides, among others. Notable performances have included appearances at Time:Spans (NY), Music Current (Dublin, Ireland), Vancouver New Music, Frequency Series at Chicago’s Constellation, Festival of New American Music (Sacramento), Blue Sage Center for the Arts (Paonia, CO), and Indexical (Santa Cruz), as well as numerous academic institutions across the country.
