For the first international call for scores, our goal was to encourage the composition of duo pieces for clarinet (bass clarinet) and viola.  We received 44 pieces from 3 continents! The high caliber of the works was outstanding, it was a real thrill to be able to go through all of them. 

​

For this recording project, we selected the following composers and pieces. The chosen compositions will be recorded by Hillary Herndon (viola) and Jorge Variego (clarinets) and released during the 2021-2022 season. The list is in alphabetical order:
