Explore Ms. Woolf's List of Works for descriptions, durations, and audio samples of her pieces. Of a love or a season. Whenever possible, the Syrinx Ensemble includes composers of some of the pieces it performs in its concerts, says oboist Arrubla, who will help perform Woolf's Reluctance. The composers will often address the audience about their pieces and the process of their creation, as Woolf will do in the upcoming concert. Woolf, who has won several awards for past compositions, has a long association with the Syrinx Ensemble, says Arrubla, and the group has premiered her past compositions as well.
Reluctance is scored for oboe, bassoon and soprano.
Conflict and character figure highly in her work, which covers the range from voice to bassoon, from solo cello to chamber orchestra. The ideal when you're a composer is that the performers will be invested in what they play. That's so important. All Rights Reserved.
