"THE MANY FACES OF ROMANTICISM BRUCH, Four Pieces for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano, Op. 83 HINDEMITH, Quartet for Clarinet, Violin, Cello, and Piano MOZART, Clarinet Quintet in A, K. 581

This aptly titled concert-“Many Faces of Romanticism”- is reflected in all three works on this program. While not all are from the “romantic” period in music history, they have a romantic quality of spirit and expression. Featured on all three works is clarinetist Franklin Cohen, who served as principal clarinet of the Cleveland Orchestra from 1976 until recently. Cohen first gained international recognition and acclaim when at the age of 22, he became the first clarinetist awarded First Prize at the International Munich Competition (the other first prize that year went to soprano Jessye Norman). The Cleveland Plain Dealer writes “Cohen is the Callas of clarinets, spinning mesmerizing lines amid flashes of temperament. Music-making of such urgency, beauty and virtuosity is uncommon on any instrument.” Mr. Cohen will be joined in performance by Gary Levinson, violin: Alexandra Adkins, violin; Richard Young, violin/viola; Bion Tsang, cello; and Jihye Chang, piano. Returning to CMSFW to perform on this unique concert is Richard Young, violin/viola. Mr. Young was a member oft he venerable Veneer Quartet until their retirement. In the spring of 2015, Mr. Young was invited to become a honorary member of the CMSFW Ensemble. Making their debuts with CMSFW will be violinist Alexandra Adkins who holds the current Associate Principal Violin II position with the Dallas Symphony; Bion Tsang, cellist, winner of the Bronze Medal in the International Tchaikovsky Competition and currently on the faculty at the UT Butler School of Music; and pianist Jihye Chang who has appeared as soloist and collaborative artist in venues throughout the United States. She is currently a member of the faculty at Brevard Music Center. Completing the ensemble is CMSFW Artistic Director, Gary Levinson, violin.

To ignite the season in style with a world premiere of "Toward Light" by Canadian composer Roydon Tse.
New York Philharmonic Prinicpal Clarinet, Anthony McGill joins us for Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A major, and we finish the program with Tchaikovsky's dynamic Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique".

Master class with Marco Thomas, Clarinet

The course is intended for conservatory students, private music school students and naturally also continuing education for interested clarinet teachers and advanced amateurs. We will work on solo and chamber music literature by request, orchestra excepts and method foundations (e.g. sound and burst exercises).
We will also provide tips and tricks for tone and technique to conquer clarinettistic problems (e.g. what do I do when certain notes are not correct, what are helpful fingerings for trills that are not in most books, tone studies and exercises to develop a beautiful clarinet tone, better technique etc.). Everyone present can address his own problems as well as the problems of his students. We will naturally work on these issues in the private lessons as well.

The heart frolicking with the joy of sharing with you. This dream! We're still working to come up with all the details! But since we already started the countdown to what will be the ll International Festival of clarinets of Paraguay! A very special thank you to buffet crampon and in their representation to Wilmer Ramirez for supporting the event!

Performance Time: 14:00

Locatie: Kraakhuis

Klarinettiste Annelien Van Wauwe, in 2014 bekroond met de Klara Publieksprijs als jonge belofte, werd in 2015 als een van de zeven beloftevolle talenten opgenomen in de prestigieuze lijst ‘New generation artists 2015-2017’ van BBC-zender Radio 3, de Britse tegenpool van Klara. De BBC geeft haar zendtijd, wij brengen haar live.

Lucas Blondeel, ook al veelvuldig prijswinnaar en sinds 2012 hoofddocent piano aan de Akademie für Tonkunst van Darmstadt, vormt sinds enkele jaren een vast duo met Annelien. Lucas zet zijn diepgaande kennis van de historische uitvoeringspraktijk over op de moderne vleugel en brengt die twee werelden dichter bij elkaar.
