Jenni Brandon’s “Found Objects On the Beach” (arr. Cassie Lear/Soren Hamm) performed by Onomatopoeia; Cassie Lear (flutes), Soren Hamm (saxophones), and Rebecca Olason (French 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. Onomatopœia presents an eclectic program for wind trio! This program includes two pieces newly composed for the group, which show off the unique personalities of the three instruments! 

Groupmuse — Classical Concerts sponsors Onomatopoeia’s performance. Join Onomatopoeia at this Groupmuse event on April 24, 2019 7:00PM, Loyal Heights, Seattle, Washington. This event is hosted by Andrew Brandon at Wild Winds Trios at The Music Box. 

“Found Objects: On the Beach” for oboe, clarinet, and bassoon tells of finding objects on the beach – from tumbled stones to sea glass; from driftwood to black feathers on the sand and the seashells that populate the beach as far as the eye can see. A six-movement work of approximately 23 minutes.

Premiered by the PEN Trio (Nora Lewis-oboe, Phillip Paglialonga-clarinet, and Eric Van der Veer Varner-bassoon), this work is published by TrevCo Music Publishing on the new PEN Trio Collection Series. Visit TrevCo Music Publishing to purchase score.
