Information

The program will explore different approaches of writing for two clarinets
and piano from all around the world. Italian music is showcased by
Amilicare Ponchielli’s “IL CONVEGNO,” which is a technically flashy and
enchanting piece for two clarinets and piano. Felix Mendelssohn provides
German music with his “CONCERT PIECE #1,” illustrating his whimsical
ideas and bold Germanic writing. French music is represented by Francis
Poulenc’s “SONATA” for two clarinets, where the listener is captivated by
hauntingly beautiful melodies. Czech music is featured in Franz Krommer’s
delightful “DUO CONCERTO” for two clarinets and piano. Finally, Clarinet
& Friends will feature a world premiere of a new piece by American
composer Donald Wheelock. The piece is called “SONATINA” and it is an

elegant work for solo clarinet.

The concert will feature pianist Vance Reese, clarinetist Eric Taylor and 16-
year-old clarinetist and founder of Clarinet & Friends, Aaron Lipsky.
