Join CMNW Artistic Director Emeritus and clarinetist-supreme David Shifrin with the dynamic Miró Quartet for a celebration of classical and jazz clarinet that pays tribute to the chamber music contributions of the "King of Swing", Benny Goodman. Featuring the world premiere of David Schiff’s arrangement Homage to Benny, Alan Shulman's Rendezvous, Peter Schickle’s captivating Spring Forward (commissioned and premiered by CMNW in 2015), Mozart's sublime masterpiece, the clarinet magic of David Shifrin, and the delightful Miró Quartet. Expect gorgeous grooves and irresistible interplay as this fivesome makes joyful noise at The Old Church.
"David Shifrin joined the Miró for the clarinet works, and seemed for an hour to have turned into a fifth Miró. [Spring Forward] seemed tailor-made for the group, with plenty of intricate give-and-take between the instruments…clarinet came back to swoop and crest one last time at the end, alighting perfectly on a delightfully surprising yet satisfying harmony."
