Palisades Virtuosi - New American Masters, Vol. 6 (2017)

Palisades Virtuosi has been passionately committed to the creation of new music for flute, clarinet and piano since 2003. Palisades Virtuosi was formed in 2002 by three friends who just loved to make music together. We quickly discovered that there was not much repertoire available for our instrumentation (flute, clarinet & piano) and decided that since we knew lots of composers, the best way to remedy the situation was to begin commissioning music ourselves. And so, in 2003 our “Mission to Commission”(R) was born. We had no idea how quickly it would take off! Along with commissioning works at the rapid pace of 4 each season, we received pieces as gifts from several composers, and also received transcriptions of existing works from other composers who were enthusiastic about our commissioning projects and wanted to be a part of it. In just 13 years we have created an amazing library of 75 new works with the help of publicly funded grants and individual contributions. (That's 75!!) We have successfully completed two previous KickStarter projects with your support (in 2010 and 2013) and now look to you to help us make this 6th volume of newly commissioned works a reality!
