Whistling Hens, a duo featuring the unusual combination of clarinet and soprano, premieres a new work by composer Kate Soper entitled Chutes and Ladders. A commission made possible by the Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Program, with generous funding provided by the Mellon Foundation, Chutes and Ladders invites us to step into a unique soundscape of vocalizations, quarter tones, multiphones, and speak-singing. A question and answer session will follow.

Whistling Hens comprises Natalie Groom (affiliate artist of clarinet at UMBC) and soprano Jennifer Piazza-Pick. The duo was founded to perform and commission music by women composers, committed to creating a financially and artistically equitable future for women in music.

Admission is free, and tickets are not required.
