Featuring clarinetists Jerome Simas and Jeff Anderle in two fabulous venues, this haunting program pairs Brahms’ autumnal clarinet quintet with Jonathan Russell’s On Sorrow and a new miniature from Josiah Catalan.
Inspired by and quoting Tomas Luis de Victoria’s O Vos Omnes, Russell’s quintet explores mortality, consolation, and common humanity across the centuries, finding common themes with one of Brahms’ final and most profound chamber works.
