McAllister/Ames Duo: Project Encore Vol. 1

Sponsored by:
Music
PROJECT ENCORE, featuring acclaimed saxophonist Timothy McAllister and the celebrated pianist Liz Ames, was born from the idea that concert curation often relies too much on tradition and time-honored chestnuts while ignoring fresh, innovative and diverse voices. Alongside the duo’s conscious efforts to weave a wide array of influences into their playing, whether a uniquely American classical sound, concepts from broader wind pedagogy, or popular idioms, they believe it is increasingly crucial to foster partnerships with living composers across a broad spectrum of styles and backgrounds.
