CONSORTIUM AURORA BOREALIS CONCERT SAT. SEPT. 27 2025
Consortium Aurora Borealis presents an exquisite concert of Classic and Romantic chamber music which we know you will enjoy! Peter Shackleton Principal Clarinettist of the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra since 1988 is joined by violinists Katie Stevens and James Moat violist Patrick Horn and cellist Peter Cosbey to perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s and Carl Maria von Weber’s celebrated quintets for clarinet and strings beloved staples of that instrument’s repertoire.
Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in A major K. 581 was composed in 1789 the same year as the French Revolution. It is marvellously melodic mellow and at times mirthful. Weber’s Grand Quintet in B-flat major Opus 34 for clarinet and string quartet is brilliantly concerto-like a solo with string accompaniment. It was completed in 1815 the year Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo. Both quintets were written for specific virtuoso clarinettists who were good friends of the composer. Mozart’s elegant String Quartet in D minor K. 421 leads off our concert. There will be a ballot draw at intermission for a gift certificate for two tickets to any Magnus Theatre production within their 2025-2026 season!
The concert is generously sponsored by Saverio Veltri: TD Wealth.
