Divide Its White Laughter into Two is a five-movement cycle for bassoon and baritone saxophone that requires stamina and patience while provoking a disturbed intuition from the performers and listeners. The apparent and not-so-apparent tensions in the piece are ever-present, desiring reconciliation through a purging that can only be attempted in live performance.

Praised for her “flair” and “deftly illuminated” performances by the New York Times, Bassoonist Rebekah Heller is a uniquely dynamic chamber, orchestral and solo musician. Equally comfortable playing established classical works and the newest of new music, Rebekah is a fiercely passionate advocate for the bassoon.

Ryan Muncy is a performer, curator, educator, and arts entrepreneur dedicated to contemporary music. He is the executive director of Ensemble Dal Niente as well as a founding member of Anubis Quartet, a modular saxophone ensemble committed to reshaping the saxophone quartet genre, and has given world premieres of over 100 new works for saxophone.

Morgan Krauss is a composer currently living in Chicago. She received her Bachelor of Music in Composition at Columbia College Chicago and is now continuing her studies in Music Composition as a Doctoral student at Northwestern University. Recent accomplishments include: 1st prize at the 2013 Orkest de ereprijs YCM competition, entrant of the Young Composers Workshop Curitiba, Brazil, performances at GaudeamusMuziekweek, Darmstadt, Festival of the Lakes, and Colorfield Festivals.
