Noah Stoker invites you to join a commissioning project for two new works for saxophone and piano by composers Nicole Knorr and Ty Bloomfield. Two pieces will be delivered on September 1, 2025—one for alto saxophone/piano, the other for tenor saxophone/piano—both themed around the sonic and somatic explorations of drawing, and how that can manifest through music.
