CASE: Carnegie Wrap Up

It was a really nice night. Prior to learning the music, I actually had my doubts about contemporary music written for sax, flute, and piano. I just wasn't sure the instrumental grouping would make for a successful concert experience. But, it all ended up being remarkably enjoyable... It was interesting to explore new soundscapes and timbres, and atonal or otherwise, all of the music told individually engaging stories. Also pleasing was how well the CASE Ensemble worked together, both in rehearsals and when performing; I felt like I got to know my KU colleagues much better musically and personally. If we're lucky enough to have more music written for our funky little group, I'd be thrilled.
