The final concert in our 37th season offers a diverse range of musical styles and influences, opening with Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate’s Rattle Songs, a classical transcription of a piece typically performed by oral musicians in their Native American tradition. Tate’s piece will be followed by Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet and Mendelssohn’s String Octet, two pieces that exemplify the timeless beauty and complexity of classical music from European descents. Each composer brings a unique perspective and voice to the world of music, enriching our understanding and appreciation of chamber music as a living art form. This concert presents the unique opportunity to hear the twice Grammy-nominated Dover Quartet perform both as a quartet and alongside other renowned musicians, including Ricardo Morales, principal clarinetist of the Philadelphia Orchestra and one of the most sought after clarinets of today.
