Losing Eurydice, written by Brian Plautz, follows the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, as Orpheus attempts to rescue his lover Eurydice from the underworld and ultimately and tragically failing this quest. “Losing Eurydice” features beautiful improvisations by Chloe Rowlands on flugelhorn and Max Zooi on bass clarinet, portraying the honeymoon phase of the story before disaster strikes. 4 time GRAMMY® Award winner Antonio Sánchez is featured on drums, representing the strife and bargaining in the story. The flugelhorn and bass clarinet improvisations return when the lovers reunite, ultimately ending in fading guitars echoing the final loss of Eurydice back to the underworld.
