🥳Happy Birthday to our shredding bass clarineti 🥳Happy Birthday to our shredding bass clarinetist, @andrewkoeppe! Here he is performing @ryanlindveit’s brand new Bass Clarinet Concerto! 

🔥Watch the full 4K video in our bio link. 

🌳🧠Bass Clarinet Concerto is inspired by two reciprocal visual fantasies: on the one hand imagining the human mind as a verdant forest, and on the other hand envisioning a forest as a thoughtful brain. 

This concerto began as one of our original premieres created at the Akropolis Chamber Music Institute in 2022 @bayviewmusicfestival. It’s so incredible to see how this project has grown and the amazing music Ryan and Andrew have created together. Here’s to many more performances! 👏
