106 West presents "A Classical Ensemble Concert"
Featuring: Franziska Brunner
(Clarinet), Corey Flowers (Classical Guitar), and Sean Thrower (Classical
Guitar).
This concert
will feature duets featuring the guitar and clarinet, a somewhat rare
combination in classical chamber music. According to Corey Flowers, who also
teaches music, classical guitar, and rock guitar at 106 West, "We've
chosen some familiar favorites ----as well as some not so familiar tunes--to
arrange for this ensemble -- that compliment both instruments' [Clarinet and
Guitar] tonal and registral characteristics, creating what will hopefully be a
unique experience for all."
Guitar duos will
close the evening, showcasing works written for two guitars as well as those
that were plucked from the classical repertory and arranged for this pairing.
With many guitar ensembles, the end goal is to give the impression of a single
instrument performing the piece--a difficult task!
Music presented
in this concert will span several centuries, ranging from Renaissance to late
Romantic, early 20th Century, and perhaps a piece or two written specifically
for this occasion."
