Garden Unit is a Chicago-based clarinet/saxophone duo formed by Cameron Roberts and Julia Ansolabehere. Cameron and Julia met during undergrad at Northwestern University in 2016 and have been collaborators since. Garden Unit is the latest incarnation of their creative partnership, debuting at Thirsty Ears Festival in 2022 and quickly developing a repertoire through collaborations with some of Chicago’s leading young composers. Their goal is to challenge traditional paradigms of classical music by presenting programs pulling from a diverse repertory of music—including new works, reimaginings of traditional works, and improvised works—and by performing in non-traditional concert settings. We are interested in collaborating with other Chicago-based artists who share our creative vision, so feel free to contact us!
