Friendship and Classical Music: Carson High grad to perform at Brewery Arts Center
Monday, June 27 at 7pm, Chyornii & Dorado will present a program of classical chamber music at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City. Admission won’t be charged, however there will be both virtual and cash tipping available and encouraged.
Chyornii & Dorado was selected to perform at the International Clarinet Association’s conference in Reno. While this conference is closed to the public, we wanted to ensure we had an opportunity to share this music with the community — especially as it’s the very community that I am from. The program will feature music from Mozart to emerging composers like Isaac Smith. Smith, a Sacramento native, wrote this piece for our album and has said that “working with (C&D) has been one of the most fruitful and gratifying experiences of (his) life.”
Chyornii & Dorado was founded the moment saxophonist and Carson native Jessica Dodge met clarinetist Anthony Aguayo during their graduate studies at the University of Oregon.
While the saxophone and clarinet are not a common ensemble, C&D has created music to play by commissioning new works from composers and transcribing (stealing!) music from other ensembles. They released their debut album Black & Gold in November 2019, and have been patiently waiting out the pandemic to perform the music from that project for live audiences.
