If you’re a fan of orchestral music, you’ll know that the great composers have employed the bassoon for some iconic moments in classical music. The bassoon is front and center today with 17-year-old Xavion Patterson performing an expressive work for bassoon and piano written by Gabriel Grovlez. He’s joined by pianist Elizabeth Joy Roe of Anderson & Roe Piano Duo. Recorded at Center for the Arts at George Mason University in 2020. | From the Top
