Clarinet Shadows (SF)

  • San Francisco Conservatory of Music 50 Oak Street San Francisco, CA, 94102 United States (map)

Featuring clarinetists Jerome Simas and Jeff Anderle in two fabulous venues, this haunting program pairs Brahms’ autumnal clarinet quintet with Jonathan Russell’s On Sorrow and a new miniature from Josiah Catalan.

Inspired by and quoting Tomas Luis de Victoria’s O Vos Omnes, Russell’s quintet explores mortality, consolation, and common humanity across the centuries, finding common themes with one of Brahms’ final and most profound chamber works.
