Clarinetist Graeme Steele Johnson and the Balourdet Quartet—winners of the Cleveland Quartet Award and an Avery Fisher Career Grant—for a vibrant program centered on Compass, a new clarinet quintet by Viet Cuong written at Johnson’s urging and inspired by the composer’s mother’s refugee journey. Framed by music of Mozart, Milhaud, and Brahms, the program traces musical journeys across cultures and generations.
Hosted by Lyall Memorial Church, the concert is part of Millbrook Music Salon’s community initiative offering free tickets to local residents. |
