WORLD PREMIERE of du Bois’ new nonet will be premiered by the Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings on 18 October 2015. The new work was written for and in collaboration with University of Michigan trombonist David Jackson and in collaboration with prize-winning photojournalist and artist Michelle Andonian (who created the visual parallel to du Bois’ music for the multimedia, multi-discipline piece of music and art).
