performance of
DANIEL CROZIER
Concerto for Two Clarinets and Orchestra (World Premiere)
Winter Park, Florida USA
This new Double Concerto was performed on 2/23 and 2/24/18 in Winter
Park, FL as part of the Winter Park Annual Bach Festival.
The piece as performed consists of two movements. The first starts
out with a lively tempo, leads to a dance section, then features a cadenza,
before returning to some material derived from the opening. The second movement,
entitled Hymn, is very lyrical. The movement ends quietly. The composer hopes to
add 1 or 2 more movements at a later date.

About the Soloists
William Hudgins - Solo Clarinetist in the
Boston Symphony
William R. Hudgins was appointed principal clarinetist of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra by Seiji Ozawa in 1994, occupying the Ann
S.M. Banks chair, having joined the orchestra two years earlier. He has
been heard as a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra on numerous
occasions, including performances of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, with
which he made his BSO debut as concerto soloist in 1995, Copland’s
Clarinet Concerto, Bruch’s Double Concerto for Clarinet and Viola, and
Frank Martin’s Concerto for Seven Winds, Timpani, Percussion, and String
Orchestra. As a member of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, he can be
heard on their latest CD, “Plain Song, Fantastic Dances,” in music of
Gandolfi, Foss, and Golijov, as well as on their compact disc “Mozart
Chamber Music for Winds and Strings” in Mozart’s Quintet for Clarinet
and Strings, K.581, and on a Grammy-nominated Arabesque recording of
Hindemith’s Quartet for Clarinet, Violin, Cello, and Piano. Recent
performances outside of the Boston Symphony Orchestra include orchestral
performances and recordings with the Saito Kinen Orchestra in Matsumoto,
Japan, and the Mito Chamber Orchestra in Mito, Japan, both under the
direction of Seiji Ozawa. Mr. Hudgins performed in the December 2010
Susan G. Komen “Concert for the Cure” breast cancer benefit concert
under the direction of Sir Simon Rattle. Appearances at the Rockport
Chamber Music Festival include performances of Wagner and Copland in the
inaugural concert at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in June 2010. He
is scheduled to perform the Copland Clarinet Concerto with Boston’s
Discovery Ensemble at Sanders Theatre in November 2011.
