Roots
With Jooyeon Chang, Piano

Faculty artist Dr. Cayla Bellamy, bassoon, along with Dr. Jooyeon Chang, piano, presents a recital of the “roots” of instruments’ repertoire. The program opens with the earliest bassoon sonata, written in 1608, and includes works exploring the compositional roots of the bassoon extended technique, stylistic roots of jazz in classical woodwind repertoire, cultural roots of indigenous composers of contemporary repertoire, and the programmatic “roots” of the one of the newest bassoon concerti, Red Maple. The composers on this multifaceted program include Giovanni Bertoli, Sonia Ko, Andre Previn, Jacqueline Wilson, and Joan Tower.
