What people are saying.

  • "Going beyond sterotypes, the aptly-named Improbable Beasts is a bass clarinet choir that can move you to tears by the beauty of its sound and the extraordinary poignance of its repertoire...."

    — Margaret Thornhill, “The Clarinet,” June 2023 issue

  • "To merely describe this masterpiece [Jonathan Russell’s composition “A Requiem for 2020”] as a valuable addition to the bass clarinet literature would be a pale understatement, as the Improbable Beasts have invented a whole new glorious medium of Bass Clarinet Orchestra, exploiting its lusciously wide ranges of register, dynamics, color and mood. The 14-part counterpoint and chordal textures are breathtaking, and I hope to have a chance to hear it performed live before long - bravo!"
