Launched in 2022 as we considered what it means to be together after the isolation of the pandemic, the project matches composers and Boston-based ensembles to create short pieces with a solo for each player before all the artists once again perform as a group.
The Solo(s) Together project centers a diverse group of creators and musicians from communities historically underrepresented in the chamber and classical music establishment.
Castle of our Skins is Boston-based but their impact reaches across the country, bringing works by Black creators past and present, well-known and unsung, to life on the concert stage. In partnership with composer Brian Rafael Nabors, woodwind players from Castle of our Skins will co-create a world premiere contemporary work that gives each player a moment to shine: to dazzle you, to move you, to make you think.
Alongside Nabors’ work, hear woodwind ensemble works by composer/conductor/bass-baritone Damien Geter, musician and multimedia artist Mason Bynes, and Ghana-born American composer Fred Onovwerosuoke.
“[the] hopes for [Castle of our Skins] are ambitious, but they seem right for a world that more often than not seems agonizingly divided.”
