The Brothers Balliett

Published by

The Brothers Balliett

Why Do Composers Always Use Low Woodwinds to Represent Monsters?

A monsterous duo

Jun 5, 2014

From

The Brothers Balliett

Brad Balliett and Doug Balliett — identical twin composers and performers from Massachusetts — have been performing together and collaborating for nearly thirty years. As bassoonist and double bassist (respectively) they perform as a duo and with groups all around New York. The Balliett brothers are fiercely competitive and work tirelessly to one-up each other. This drive creates a self-fueling passion to write the best work, listen to the best music, and learn as much as possible.

Produced by WQXR.
