Music in the University Lunchtime Recital Series Glasgow

In this concert the Scottish Clarinet Quartet is delighted to be joined by distinguished guest artists Scott Lygate (contrabass clarinet), Beth Taylor (mezzo-soprano) and Annini Tsiouti (piano), to perform a wide-ranging programme of music for multiple clarinets in unusual combinations. Glasgow University’s Graham Hair’s Mondrian Studies receive their first performance in the version for four different clarinets (E-flat sopranino, B-flat soprano, B-flat bass, B-flat contrabass), the basset horn is let off its leash for Mendelssohn’s Konzertstück No. 2 in D minor, and with Beth Taylor the group ventures into the rarely-explored territory established by Stravinsky (Berceuses du Chat) and Dallapiccola (Seven Goethe Songs) for voice and trio of clarinets.
