Whistling Hens Premiere: Chutes and Ladders

Date:  

August 10, 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Location: The Music Box

Two women smile at the camera. On the left, a woman holds a flute and wears red. On the right, the woman is dressed in blue and black.

Whistling Hens, a duo featuring the unusual combination of clarinet and soprano, premieres a new work by composer Kate Soper entitled Chutes and Ladders. A commission made possible by the Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Program, with generous funding provided by the Mellon Foundation, Chutes and Ladders invites us to step into a unique soundscape of vocalizations, quarter tones, multiphones, and speak-singing. A question and answer session will follow.

Whistling Hens comprises Natalie Groom (affiliate artist of clarinet at UMBC) and soprano Jennifer Piazza-Pick. The duo was founded to perform and commission music by women composers, committed to creating a financially and artistically equitable future for women in music.


Admission is free, and tickets are not required.


The Music Box is easy to visit, with plenty of free parking. Please visit here for directions and parking information.
