I’m playing in a concert at the Weston Public Library on Sunday November 20, 2011, 3pm! Soprano Linda Dawson will be singing, and Bill Donahue will be playing the piano. I’ll by playing the clarinet for three Franz Schubert pieces:

• The Shepherd on the Rock (Der Hirt auf dem Felsen)
• Romanze (from Die Verschworenen)
• Erstes Offertorium, Totus in corde lanqueo

The Totus is a nifty piece for C clarinet, and since I have a brand new C clarinet, I can’t wait to play it!

In addition to these pieces, I am playing a solo piece for clarinet and piano:

• Norbert Burgmuller: Duo for Clarinet and Piano

This is a wonderful and rare piece written in 1834. Burgmuller was only 26 when he tragically died; he left behind some great music, but think of all the music he never wrote. Of course, Franz Schubert was only 31 when he died. (Both lived less than Mozart.)

If you have the afternoon available, please come to hear the music!
