- Commissions from 2019
- Yvonne Freckman, "NEST"
- Scott Ordway, "The Clearing and the Forest"
During 2019, SOLI performed in a number of new venues and had many new opportunities. They performed with Jazz, Texas four times, and were guest performers for the Gurwitz International Piano competition. SOLI premiered a commission by Scott Ordway, The Clearing in the Forest. Eventually, in 2022 SOLI would go on to record and release the full work on all music streaming services. During the pandemic, SOLI created intimate weekly online ‘Moments of SOLIcitude’ featuring new material from its core members. In order to bring back live perfromances with social distancing, SOLI is invited to perform at the SA Botanical Gardens in their beautiful new outdoor venue.
