On March 26, 2018, the world premiere of Duncan Petersen Jones's Devastation Deconstruction by the Vanguard Reed Quintet will be taking place at the University of Michigan. Scored for reed quintet (consisting of oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, and bassoon), the premiere is part of an ongoing collaboration concert series between the university's student composers and chamber groups.
We had the opportunity to speak with Petersen-Jones last weekend to learn more about his brand-new chamber work. You can read our full interview with him below:

On Saturday, March 17th, the world premiere of a brand-new work by composer Josh Trentadue will be taking place at the Michigan State University College of Music. Concerto for Double Bass features the virtuosity and wide artistic range of Matthew Gibson, a doctoral student at MSU who commissioned the piece and is also hosting the concert where the premiere will be taking place. Trentadue will be in attendance for the premiere, which will see the piano reduction of the concerto come to life.
