Tim Woos is a Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist and will be featured on From the Top as a composer in Burlington at the Flynn Center for the Arts on Friday, February 12. A bassoon quartet from Portland, ME, was selected to play two Movements from Tim’s Suite for Bassoon Quartet. The Portland 3rd bassoonist is unable to come, so Tim will play 3rd bassoon with the group.
Tim Woos' string quartet was played by the Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival on Saturday, August 29th in a Young Composer's Workshop. Performers were: Soovin Kim, violin I; Jennifer Frautschi, violin II; Hsin-yun Huang, viola; Alisa Weilerstein, cello. Listen to a recording of the performance.
Tim, a homeschooled senior from New Haven, was one of four young composers selected to participate in the festival this year. The others are college students from across the country. The LCCMF was highly acclaimed for the line-up of performers and the connections made with young people in master classes, composer workshops and listening groups. Their return next summer is already anticipated.
