Solitary Vices: Solo Bassoon Performance by Ben Roidl-Ward

Doors open at 6:30PM. Concert begins at 7PM. The Museum will close at 9:30PM.

Ben Roidl-Ward presents "Solitary Vices," a concert of new works for bassoon that reimagine the instrument's sonic, technical, and expressive capabilities. These pieces are the result of close collaboration between Roidl-Ward and the featured composers, and illustrate his continued commitment to championing the work of living composes and building a new repertoire for his instrument. The program will feature world premieres by Liza Lim, Pierce Gradone, Osnat Netzer, and Pablo Rubino, as well as the Chicago premiere of Yi-Ting Lu's solo work Taxidermy.
