Ben has created a new piece for saxophone quartet titled Sunstruck (originally titled Perpetuum Mobile). We will be premiering this stunning new 30-min piece on September 28 in Jersey City. To share the work and preview this concert, NTQ will do a livestream chat with Ben. We’ll discuss the piece, perform sections of it, and take your questions via social media.

Sweet Soubrette’s last show before we lose our beloved violinist Heather to the West Coast! Come out on a Saturday night in September to see Sweet Soubrette in our full glory, brass section and all. Last time we played as the big band, people danced up a storm. The same thing may happen to you.
