About Transient Canvas:

For over a decade Boston-based contemporary duo Transient Canvas has been thrilling audiences with their “engaging musicality and easy sense of ensemble" (Cleveland Classical) and “superb” performances (Boston Globe). Bass clarinetist Amy Advocat (she/her) and marimbist Matt Sharrock (they/them) relish the creative potential of working with living composers, with the San Francisco Chronicle lauding “the versatile imagination they both display and inspire in others” and a commissioned repertoire of over 90 works. Since 2017, they have hosted their annual paid Composer Fellowship Program that is free and open to composers of all ages. They maintain an active touring schedule with recent performances at the Alba Music Festival, Festival of New American Music, Music on the Edge, New Music Miami, and Red Note New Music Festival, among others.

With the global rise of political extremism and the devastating consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the composers featured in this program address each challenge in their own way or pay homage to composers whose inspiration has been a guiding light.

Works include those by Tyshawn Sorey, Lisa Bielawa, Daniel Felsenfeld, Sunny Knable, and a world premiere of Tonia Ko’s evermore everyday. The trio gives its signature send-off with the ecstatic Music in Similar Motion by Philip Glass.
