Self-proclaimed “reckless transcriptionists”, Isomer Quartet is a new tuba-euphonium quartet that does not perform from a predefined repertoire. Simply put: Isomer plays music that they think sounds good. By performing from any genre, whether it’s classical, jazz, contemporary or pop, Isomer wants the tuba-euphonium quartet to be pushed into new expressive and virtuosic heights.
Isomer formed after existing for over a decade in the same Michigan-Georgia-Texas tuba and euphonium multiverse with one another. UGA is happy to welcome back alums Dr. Alex Avila and Dr. Charlie Goodman, along with Ryan Chen and Keith Packman. Quartet members are all prizewinners at multiple international competitions, have released numerous albums, and essentially are trying to “do all of the things”. Individually, they are on faculty at Louisiana State University, Columbus State University and Texas Woman’s University and enrolled at the Harvard Law School.
This is a free concert on Monday, Oct. 24, starting at 7:30 p.m. in Edge Recital Hall. The program will also be live-streamed
