Composer

If you are a fan of the clarinet, this evening is absolutely unavoidable. Weber's early romantic, expressive clarinet quintet in B-flat major is distinguished by its beautiful and emotional clarinet melody, which soars high above the accompanying strings and creates a direct connection to the innermost core of the heart. The work demonstrates Weber's skill in utilizing the tonal versatility of the clarinet, from the warmly lyrical to the virtuosic and dancing. The lively dialogue between clarinet and strings provides a lively and classical chamber musical interaction. The quartet was written for Weber's friend, the clarinet virtuoso Heinrich Baermann, who as a touring musician needed chamber music 'showpieces' to play in the cities where an orchestra could not be assembled to accompany clarinet concerts. And as such, the string quartet here is a mini-solo concerto – fully as dramatic and full of tension and pathos as any orchestral work, and with all the 'showmanship' and melodic sweetness that Weber as an opera composer had no trouble inventing .

The Graber-Graham-Rose Trio or G-G-R Trio, was formed in 2013 and made its debut performance at Trinity Chamber Concerts in Berkeley. Since then, the group has performed at Old First Church and NoonTime Concert in San Francisco, Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley, Four Seasons Arts Cameo Concerts, and other venues. Because works of major composers for this instrumentation are limited, G-G-R Trio also explores arrangements and works by lesser known composers, including Mikhail Glinka, Marko Tajevi, Paul Juon and Gunter Raphael.
