Bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck engages in adventurous dialogues with some of creative music’s most inventive voices on her new self-titled album
“Sara Schoenbeck [is] one of the only bassoon practitioners to truly and successfully fold the instrument’s sound into the realm of chamber jazz.” – Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz
“Schoenbeck demonstrates the full sonic palette of the modern bassoon as a classical instrument that feels at home in many musical arenas.” – Eyal Hareuveni, The Free Jazz Collective
Throughout her career, Sara Schoenbeck has dedicated herself to discovering, exploring and expanding the role of the bassoon in contemporary composition and improvised music. Key to that development has been the relationships she’s forged with her fellow musical innovators. On her new self-titled album, Schoenbeck reconnects with several of her most intrepid collaborators – peers, mentors, inspirations and even family – for an adventurous and captivating set of dialogues.
