Acclaimed clarinetists James Campbell and Alix Reinhardt – master and former student – will collaborate with insightful pianist Futaba Niekawa to elicit the luminous, songful soundscape of German Romantic works for clarinet… and clarinets. The 1886 Chickering concert grand, a piano contemporary with the second Brahms clarinet sonata, brings its own distinctive period voice to this engaging musical conversation. The concert duo by Mendelssohn unveils a once-familiar, now vanished world of virtuosic clarinet lyricism that enchanted mid-19th-century Europe, while von Weber’s taxing, brilliant piece unleashes both fire and sinewy vocal line. Schumann’s fantasies are familiar in a variety of instrumentations, of course, but we can count ourselves lucky to have this chance to hear the haunting clarinet version. Irresistible, no?

This concert is generously sponsored by Christine McMasters.

The German Romantic Clarinet runs ca. 65′ and is without an intermission.
