Transient Canvas

Praised by the Boston Globe as "superb", Transient Canvas, comprised of bass clarinetist Amy Advocat and marimbist Matt Sharrock, is dedicated to championing the work of living composers. With wildly eclectic repertoire ranging from the quietly intense to the jovially raucus, Transient Canvas concerts offer audiences a broad range of musical styles presented in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. 

Since their founding in 2011, Transient Canvas has had the great honor of commissioning and premiering over 40 new works for their unique instrumentation from composers such as Marti Epstein, Curtis Hughes, and John McDonald. They have presented concerts across the United States, having collaborated with New Music Gathering (San Francisco), Chamber Cartel (Alanta), Firehouse New Music Series (Brooklyn), and Original Gravity (Boston), among others. Their recording of Andy Vores' Fabrication 10: Itch, which was one of the first pieces of music written for the duo, appears on his latest CD "One Head"
