Please join us for short presentations and performances at 5PM each day. The Zoom link is available in the Fine Artists at Five forum of the Keep Teaching Sakai site. Our final artist this week is bassoonist Christin Schillinger.
Fine Artists at Five is hosted by the Center for Faculty Excellence.
Christin Schillinger is a bassoonist who is hailed as a "soloist, teacher, and force of nature" by The Double Reed (Journal of the International Double Reed Society). Schillinger specializes in the accessibility of the avant-garde, aiming to broaden the audience for both new music and bassoon. American Record Guide refers to her playing as "full of life and inspiration." Schillinger works closely with living composers. Her 2018 solo album Bassoon Unbounded highlighted works from the 21st Century written in her dedication. Her prior solo albums, Bassoon Transcended (2013) and Bassoon Surrounded (2009), produced for MSR Classics by Swineshead Productions, include world-premiere recordings of new works. Collaborative composers remark on her "natural interpretation" and "perfect musical choices."
