Collaborations
Sopros de PE
Clarinet Quartet
Sopros de Pernambuco is the premiere clarinet quartet in Northeast Brazil. I met them at the 2019 convention of the International Clarinet Association. Shortly after ClarinetFest, I composed an extended work for Sopros de PE, Embolada.
The newest piece for the quartet is "Maestro Duda". They recently recorded in the studio and it will be available on the site in the near future.
