The Salem Chamber Orchestra is kicking off their 25th anniversary season on September 19 at 7:30 pm at the Historic Elsinore Theatre. The concert will be repeated as a Sunday matinee on September 20 at 3pm at the Oregon Garden in Silverton. Featuring world-renowned clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, this concert will offer a variety of opportunities for concert goers and students alike.
Having teamed with the Grace Goudy Distinguished Artist Series, Mr. Stoltzman will be offering a master class on Thursday evening from 7pm-9pm in Hudson Hall at Willamette University. He will then open the Goudy Distinguished Artist Series on Friday with a recital performance, followed by the gala opening of the Salem Chamber Orchestra Season on Saturday and Sunday.
Accompanying Stoltzman in his recital performace will be Pulitzer Prize winning composer Yehudi Wyner. Wyner will have two pieces making their west coast premiere as part of the Salem Chamber Orchestra performances. The orchestra will be under the direction of Wyner’s wife, Susan Davenny Wyner. Also performed will be Brahms Variations on a theme of Joseph Hayden and Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, K622. A wonderful piece of work highlighting this often overlooked wind instrument. I was awed when I heard it performed by the Seattle Symphony two years ago. If you have time available I would highly recommend this performance.
