Rossini’s exciting Overture to The Italian Girl in Algiers opens this concert, which concludes with Antonin Dvorak’s 4th Symphony. In between is music by 20th century British composer, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and clarinet soloist, Anders Peterson, performing Crusell’s remarkable Clarinet Concerto No. 2.

Rossini & Dvorak

Edmonds Center For the Arts

An evening in the company of Michael Collins is one well-spent, as he brings his deeply-held musicality and mastery of both the clarinet and the conductor’s podium to the Ulster Hall. This concert opens with Grażyana Bacewicz’s, vibrant, driving Concerto for String Orchestra, before Michael performs Crusell’s Second Clarinet Concerto, full of exuberance and lyrical grace and Busoni’s Concertino, a virtuosic 20th century tour-de-force written in the style of Mozart. And it’s Mozart, with whom Michael has a special affinity, that closes the concert; the exhilarating pinnacle of all his symphonic writing, Symphony No.41
