(If you're not up to date yet, please read my blog post from May: My Piece Will Have A World Premiere: 11 Years Of Bassoon, Microtonality, And Being An Icon)

​There's an official time and date and everything! Go check out the Facebook Event to verify that I didn't make the poster myself and this isn't an elaborate lie-gone-too-far like Terri Schuester Glee Season 1 fake pregnancy plot arch.

But now is not the time for Glee references.

Quite literally as I was writing this copy, flutist and Untwelve board member, Robin Meiksins announced that there will be a live-stream of the concert on her YouTube Channel for all y'all  who can't make it to Chicago. (She's also got a quality Insta too.)

Come hear bassoonist and icon, Annie Lyle Mason try to make sense of and play this measure I wrote!

I hope to see you all there 😊

UnTwelve's Mission Statement

The dimension of pitch in music (how high or low a certain musical sound is) remains largely tied to a standardized set of 12 notes. This is akin to a painter being stuck with only 12 standard colors.

UnTwelve is dedicated to exploring the current and historical frontiers of music beyond the 12-equal note tuning system. Our mission and vision is to commission and perform musical works which display the excitement and beauty of this frontier to both audiences and musicians.

In addition, we seek to set up musical education programs that highlight the wide-open expressive possibilities of such systems, and to promote and foster their usage by the current and next generation of musicians and composers.
