About
Leading soloist and Principal
Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic Anthony McGill joins us in his SPCO debut
for a program that showcases the rich brilliance of the clarinet, an instrument
celebrated for its vast tonal range. Benjamin Britten’s three-movement
Sinfonietta, highlights the musicians of the SPCO in its bareness and delicate
balance between woodwinds and strings. Two Classical concertos end the program —
one by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the other by his French contemporary Joseph
Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Originally written for violin, this
version of Bologne’s concerto has been transcribed for clarinet and was co-commissioned
by the Orlando Philharmonic and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.
