Mr. Cohen and Mr. Bognár will perform several of the last works by famed composers such as Mozart and Schubert. The selected pieces were written with death on the horizon, and audience members will be taken on a musical journey that explores this creative expression of destiny and mortality.

Mr. Cohen and Mr. Bognár are sure to provide an unforgettable concert experience. Applauded by the Cleveland Plain Dealer for performances that are “dreamy, impassioned and achingly beautiful”, Mr. Cohen is the longest-service principal clarinet in orchestra history. Additionally, Mr. Bognár has been deemed an “artist well worth the attention of any serious music lover” by the American Record Guide and was applauded by the European press for his “visceral” performances.
