Splinter Reeds is the Bay Area's first reed quintet, comprised of five innovative musicians with a shared passion for new music. The ensemble is committed to presenting top-tier performances of today’s best contemporary composition, showcasing the vast possibilities of the reed quintet, commissioning new works, and collaborating with fellow musicians and artists.
As a relatively new and emerging chamber music genre, the reed quintet is an evolutionary detour from the traditional woodwind quintet with the advantages of a more closely related instrument family. With approximately 19 reed quintets worldwide, Splinter Reeds is dedicated to cutting edge composition and aims to expand on the existing reed quintet repertoire through the development of new works by emerging and established composers.
Splinter's concert at Chapman will feature music by Eric Wubbels, Ken Ueno, Marc Mellits, in addition to works by Chapman composition faculty Jeffrey Holmes and Vera Ivanova.
Tickets: $10 general admission; $5 senior citizens, alumni and non-Chapman students.
