The Post-Haste Reed Duo was formed by two musicians who first met as students at Louisiana State University. After several years apart, social media and LSU sports brought them back together as friends and musical colleagues. Inspired by a concert where they watched their teachers perform together, they decided to form their own duo. Faced with a lack of existing works for saxophone and bassoon, they began arranging pieces and commissioning new works from composer friends. Their mission is two-fold: to increase the amount of quality chamber music for saxophone and bassoon and to commission composers from diverse backgrounds and styles. By expanding their repertoire, they aim to introduce a growing audience to the possibilities of new music.
The members of the group are Javier Rodriguez (bassoon) and Sean Fredenburg (saxophone).
