From Hungarian folk music to lyrical Romanticism, Armenian dances to gentle spirituality, this concert represents a study in contrasts. Acclaimed pianist Adam Neiman joins audience-favorite Alan Kay (clarinet) and Four Seasons’ own Ara Gregorian (violin) in a concert featuring the music of Alexander Arutiunian, Béla Bartók, and Aram Khatchaturian against the backdrop of J.S. Bach and Johannes Brahms. A Klezmer-inspired work by Paul Schoenfield brings the program to its rollicking conclusion.

PROGRAM:
Alexander Arutiunian – Finale from Suite for Clarinet, Violin, and Piano
Johannes Brahms – Andante un poco Adagio from Clarinet Sonata in F Minor, Op. 120, No. 1
