Desert's Edge

The multi-faceted talents of J.B. Smith and Robert Spring are available together to offer a variety of concert programs. Drawing from a rich literature for the unusual combination of clarinet and percussion, they have performed throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

They have been performing together since 1989. They performed at the 1991, 1996, 2002 and 2004 ClarinetFest International Conventions and the 1994 Music Educators National Conference. They have performed at numerous U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities including the University of North Texas, Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, the University of Illinois, Florida State University, University of Miami, Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, Ithaca College, Indiana University, the University of Texas, Rice University and Oberlin College. They have commissioned and premiered several works including Glenn Hackbarth's Points in the Sky and Norbert Goddaer's Sonata for Clarinet and Percussion, which are both included on their CD At the Desert's Edge,  and Edic Mandat's Three for Two.
