FRESH SOUND in partnership with UCSD

Ned Rothenberg, alto saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet and shakuhachi New York
Marty Ehrlich, alto saxophone, clarinet, flute New York

Two long time musical colleagues are joining forces for an evening of solo and duo music for woodwinds. A master of solo woodwind music presented internationally for over 30 years, Ned Rothenberg will present pieces for alto saxophone, clarinet, and the 5 holed Japanese bamboo flute known as shakuhachi. Marty Ehrlich will play "Lay Down Your Weary Tune" for clarinet, a solo work based on themes by Bob Dylan. Ehrlich and Rothenberg are each writing new duo works for for this rare shared performance. Expectations are for a sonic world both reflective and vigorous from these two celebrated woodwind artists.
