Duo X: Contemporary Experimental Music at the Mondavi Center
Duo X, a miniature East-West ensemble comprising UC Davis Department of Music artists-in-residence Laura Carmichael (clarinet, electronics) and Naomi Sato (saxophone, shō, electronics), brings its extreme experimental music and improvisation to the Studio Theatre of the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts at 7 p.m., Saturday, April 18.
