Join Jeffrey Lyman, bassoon, Nancy Ambrose King, oboe, and Matthew Thompson, piano, for a program of music composed, published or championed during the recent pandemic. These works range from collaborations with composers Michael Kosch, Amanda Harberg, Adrienne Albert and John Steinmetz through conferences that featured the music of Natalie Moller to my own presentation of a version of a beloved Mozart trio rearranged for oboe, bassoon and piano by the 19th century virtuoso Eugène Jancourt. We’ll end with a bit of fun by P. D. Q. Bach. Hope you can join us on October 29.
