AVIDduo is a flute and saxophone ensemble committed to the performance and creation of contemporary music by living composers. Members Jeffery Kyle Hutchins and Brittany Primavera have performed together around the world, giving recitals in Asia, Europe, and across North America. Recent engagements include the Navy Band International Saxophone Symposium, the North American Saxophone Alliance Conference as well as international tours in Ostrava, Czech Republic and Seoul, South Korea. As advocates of new music, AVIDduo has added over a dozen pieces to the flute and saxophone repertoire through actively commissioning composers to write for their instrumentation. Their debut album Interactions was released in February 2014 and contains original works for flute and saxophone by American, Australian, and Czech composers.

AVIDduo will perform three works, including Lafayette music faculty Kirk O'Riordan's Leonardo's Sketchbook, which was commissioned by AVIDduo in 2011. Following the performance, AVIDduo will work with two Lafayette students from the class of 2015: saxophonist Michael Robinson and flutist Julia Campbell. 

 

The concert and master class are free, and a boxed lunch will be provided.
