Clarinetist

As part of Tippet Rise’s Wander series, this concert will take place among works of art located on the art center’s Cottonwood Campus, including Iron Tree by Ai Weiwei and Daydreams and Cursive Takes a Holiday by Patrick Dougherty. Performing together as a group, returning flutist Jessica Sindell will be joined by debuting artists including oboist Tamer Edlebi, clarinetist Afendi Yusuf, bassoonist Jake Thonis, and horn player Nathaniel Silberschlag, offering a unique opportunity to hear these talented musicians outside their orchestral settings. The group will take the audience on a trip to Hungary, Argentina, and back to the United States with music by György Ligeti, Endre Szervánszky, Astor Piazzolla, and Samuel Barber.

Tippet Rise Art Center

In this unique annual tradition, local audiences and holiday visitors from around the world come together at Carnegie Hall for a special 7 PM Christmas Eve concert by the New York String Orchestra. The youthful ensemble delights listeners with the timeless majesty of an all-Mozart program, performed without intermission. Featured as soloist in the beloved Clarinet Concerto is Afendi Yusuf, principal clarinetist of The Cleveland Orchestra—an ensemble that The New York Times recently called “the nation’s finest.”
