Join us for a heartwarming afternoon of chamber music at "The Music of Friendships" concert, presented by the Clinton Symphony Orchestra. This special event is set to take place on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 2:00 pm, hosted at the St. Paul Lutheran Church, located at 715 S 3rd St in Clinton, right at the foot of the Highway 30 bridge.

Due to unforeseen weather conditions, the concert has been rescheduled to ensure the safety and comfort of all attendees. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate through the blizzard conditions and bitter cold. Our priority is to keep everyone cozy, warm, and safe during this blustery weekend.

"The Music of Friendships" celebrates the intimate and collaborative nature of chamber music, a genre often described as the music of friendships. Composers craft these pieces with specific friends in mind, sometimes including parts for themselves to play within the ensemble. This tradition of gathering with friends to perform and listen to music is a testament to the deep connections formed through the art of music-making.

The concert will feature a selection of pieces that exemplify the spirit of friendship and collaboration, including the "Piano Trio in G Minor, Op. 26" by Antonin Dvořák, performed by Nadia Wirchnianski (piano), Asa Church (violin), and Ann Balderson (violoncello). The program also includes works by Josquin Des Prez, Thomas Ford, Hubert Waelrant, Thomas Morley, Pierre Passereau, and a collection of Miniatures for Woodwind Quintet by William Grant Still, showcasing the talents of Crystal Duffee (flute), Tamara Byram Mahl (oboe), Elizabeth Matera (clarinet), Thomas Wood (bassoon), and Bianca Sierra (horn).

This event is not just a concert but a celebration of the enduring bonds formed through music. Whether you're a lifelong fan of chamber music or curious to experience it for the first time, "The Music of Friendships" promises an afternoon of exquisite music that speaks to the heart of what it means to create and enjoy music together.

Don't miss this opportunity to warm up your January with beautiful music and the company of friends. We look forward to sharing this special day with you.

Shakespeare and Beyond

The Renaissance saw increasing freedom and development in music, with more variety in range, rhythm, notation, form and harmony than ever before. Music became a vehicle for personal expression, with composers finding ways to make vocal music ever more expressive. This program charts some of the most prolific and influential European composers of the age, with a reflection on their legacy through the response of contemporary composers.
