Dr. Keith Northover, clarinet, and Brian Hargrove, piano, bring a dynamic presentation of clarinet and piano music that spans from whimsy to melancholy. All three featured works on the program are written by living composers (Marc Eychenne, Paul Richards, and James Stephenson) and Keith will perform on four different instruments: the Bass Clarinet, the Basset Horn, the Eb Clarinet, and the Bb Clarinet. Brian will only play on one piano: The Reilly’s 9 foot Yamaha Concert Grand once owned by Yanni. (True Story)
