Roots
February

Expression is born from personal experience, and when a composer chooses to musically highlight their own origins and deeply rooted cultural environment, a magical individualism in their expression shines brightly. This eclectic concert features an impressive variety of compositional voices from Spanish to Hungarian to British, each voice amplifying a flavor and texture of their country of origin. |
Homage to Benny Goodman
April
|
Legendary American clarinetist Benny Goodman, nicknamed the “King of Swing,” inspired the creation of some of the most important clarinet repertoire to date. Francis Poulenc, Leonard Bernstein, Morton Gould, Darius Milhaud and others all wrote works for Goodman upon hearing his irresistible playing, and this program showcases some of the virtuosic works that are at times profoundly gripping, and other times pure fun. |
