There aren’t many saxophone and bassoon duos. We first met as students at Louisiana State University. After graduating and losing touch for a few years, the magic of social media and LSU sports brought us back together as friends and as musical colleagues. When we remembered watching our teachers perform together on one particular concert, we were inspired by our non-traditional combination of instruments to perform together. Frustrated by the lack of existing works, we began arranging existing pieces and also turned to our composer friends and challenged them to write new works for the newly formed Post-Haste Reed Duo.
Our mission is two-fold: to increase the amount of quality chamber music literature for saxophone and bassoon.
We strive to commission composers from a wide range of styles and diverse backgrounds to build our repertoire, which in turn will introduce a growing audience to the endless possibilities of new music.
