BERNSTEIN CLARINET SONATA
Description
Pianist Haochen Zhang and the Dover Quartet give the New Mexico premiere of Festival Artistic Director Marc Neikrug’s Piano Quintet No. 2—a work all five musicians premiered at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, in 2021—and the Dover also plays one of Ravel’s early masterpieces: the stunning String Quartet in F Major. Clarinetist Todd Levy opens the program with Bernstein’s well-loved Clarinet Sonata, which was the iconic American composer’s first published work.
