We did the thing!!!

Today we presented Extant Flight by at the Conference in Oxford, Ohio!! The importance and meaning behind a flexible instrumentation double reed quartet got our audience really excited and showed that while flextet writing is a challenge, it has so many benefits, not just with simply performing music but from a pedagogical perspective as well.

Thank you again, SO MUCH, to all of our generous donors who helped us get to Ohio for this once in a lifetime experience - we appreciate you more than words can say. 🫶🏼

And if you’re interested in this flextet and all its possibilities, you can head to Martin’s socials and still be part of the consortium with exclusivity rights through mid 2027!
