Dialolues for solo Saxophone by Emma Shifrin (2022)

Dialogues is one of a series of solo pieces that delves into the multifaceted nature of one instrument, one person. The different facets may be completed as they may also disagree, collide, or even contradict each other, all while coexisting in the same space and time. 

The artistic process in this series allows all these voices the freedom to act, influence each other, and evolve, shaping the narrative and eventually leading to an unforeseen “end.”

Dr. Emma Shifrin is a professor of composition and a composer.
