Woven Air

This program spans more than two centuries of music, moving from Beethoven’s Trio, Op. 11 to Steve Reich’s New York Counterpoint. Poulenc’s Sonata for Two Clarinets and Mendelssohn’s Concert Piece No. 2 feature both clarinets together, highlighting the clarity and agility of the instrument in dialogue.

The trios by Beethoven and Nina Rota are written for clarinet, cello, and piano, bringing together three distinct voices and a wide range of color and texture. Gershwin’s Preludes add a distinctly American perspective, blending classical structure with jazz influence. Taken together, the program offers music from the Classical, Romantic, twentieth-century, and contemporary traditions, showcasing the clarinet in varied chamber settings.
