Bringing chamber music to concert halls, classrooms, and communities across Kansas

​SYZYGY Trio performs for audiences of every kind — from concert series and conservatory stages to elementary school assemblies and high school masterclasses. Whether you're planning a full evening concert or a school-day residency, we'll work with you to build a program that fits your venue, your audience, and your goals.

PERFORMANCES

SYZYGY Trio's standard program showcases the singular sound of bassoon, tuba, and piano through a mix of newly commissioned works and beloved arrangements. Featured repertoire includes selections from our debut album, Three Celestial Objects in Perfect Alignment, alongside popular, audience-friendly arrangements chosen to balance discovery with familiarity.
A typical program includes:

• Selections from our new album — including Grace Baugher-Dunlap's Windfall, Gwyneth Walker's After Manhattan: Duets for Bassoon and Tuba, Barbara York's Conversations for Bassoon, Tuba, and Piano, and a Brahms trio arrangement — with brief spoken introductions from the stage
• Arrangements of well-known and popular pieces spanning classical, folk, and other traditions
• Repertoire tailored in length and content for concert halls, school assemblies, libraries, and community venues
• Optional spoken commentary connecting the music, the instruments, and the stories behind each piece

Program length and repertoire can be adjusted to fit your venue, audience, and time constraints — we're glad to collaborate on program design ahead of the performance. SYZYGY Trio has performed on concert series and at colleges and conservatories throughout the United States, and has appeared as invited artists at the International Double Reed Society Conference and the International Tuba and Euphonium Conference.

COMMUNITY & EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH

​We believe live chamber music belongs everywhere — not just the concert hall. SYZYGY Trio offers a flexible menu of community and educational programs that can be booked on their own or combined into a single visit or residency.
“The Highs and the Lows” — for elementary & young audiences
An interactive program exploring the science and fun of high and low sounds. Students discover how different instruments are built and played, and why each produces the pitches and timbres it does — through live demonstration, comparison, and audience participation. Flexible for assemblies, individual classrooms, or multi-class sessions.
High School Masterclasses
Standard masterclasses in brass, woodwinds, and piano for high school instrumental students. Students perform for the Trio's musicians and receive individualized, constructive coaching on technique, musicality, and performance practice in a supportive, small-group setting.
Individual & Small-Group Lessons
Private and small-group instrumental lessons available in bassoon, tuba/euphonium, and piano.
Music Business Sessions
A practical, real-world conversation for students and young musicians on careers, entrepreneurship, and professional life in music.
Mix and match: Presenting organizations are welcome to combine activities into a single visit — for example, a school-day residency pairing an assembly performance, elementary outreach, and afternoon masterclasses. We'll work directly with you to design a schedule that fits your students and community.
