NEW HORIZONS
Principal Brothers

Demarre McGill, flute
Titus Underwood, oboe
Anthony McGill, clarinet
Bryan Young, bassoon

Selected works by James LEE III, VILLA-LOBOS, COLEMAN, WALLEN, and BACH

In this dynamic and forward-looking program, four of today’s most celebrated wind players — Demarre McGill (flute), Titus Underwood (oboe), Anthony McGill (clarinet), and Bryan Young (bassoon) — chart bold new musical horizons. At its heart is Principal Brothers, a striking cycle of solo works by James Lee III, written for each performer. These are interwoven with Villa-Lobos’s vibrant wind quartet and Valerie Coleman’s Rubispheres, a rhythmic and expressive journey through urban soundscapes. A new commission from Errollyn Wallen and selections from Bach complete the program — showcasing the expressive power of wind instruments across the past, present, and future of chamber music.
