Augustana College - Rock Island, Illinois

Feb 21, 2020 – Feb 22, 2020

Colere was invited to perform as guest artists at the Shockingly Modern Saxophone Festival hosted by Randall Hall and the Augustana College Saxophone Studio.  Colere’s program included works of the modern saxophone quartet repertoire ranging from favorites such as Thierry Escaich’s Le Bal and John Mackey’s Unquiet Spirits to Nina Šenk’s hidden gem Phases of Water.  This performance also featured the premiere of Alexandros Spyrou’s ephemera, a work commissioned by Colere.

Colere was honored to perform alongside the other musicians at the SMSF, which included Randall Hall, Erin Rogers, Duo Gillis Cunningham, Nicki Roman, Phil Pierick, and Bob Bucko Jr.

Alexandros Spyrou - ephemera

Colere was excited to collaborate with composer Alexandros Spyrou on its first commission.  Colere premiered ephemera at the Shockingly Modern Saxophone Festival (February 21-22, 2020) and gave a subsequent performance at the North American Saxophone Alliance Biennial Conference in Tempe, Arizona in March.  Colere looks forward to performing the work again in the near future!
