The J2 Duo proudly presents Seen and Heard, showcasing a vibrant renaissance of diversity within brass repertoire.
While new composition has long been celebrated within the brass community, a refreshing renaissance of diversity is now taking place. The composers represented in this program are among those whose works are quickly becoming firmly established within the standard repertoire. From award winning composers Kevin Day and Carolina Calvache to freelance horn performer and composer, Susan Mutter, the J2 Duo joyfully presents Seen and Heard in an endeavor to elevate these composers to a more expansive audience.
The J2 Duo began in May 2023 as a faculty trombone-piano duo recital at Central Washington University performing a program of all female composers, commissioned to write for this specific combination of instruments. The duo is committed to performing and commissioning original and diverse repertoire for this combination. The J2 Duo consists of Central Washington University faculty members, Dr. John S. Neurohr, trombone and Dr. Jiyoun Chung, piano.
