Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center

<h3>Dynamics and Passion</h3> The Germantown Symphony Orchestra's final classical concert of the 2023-2024 season will begin with Bernhard Crusell's Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in E♭ Major. Crusell (1775-1838) was a Swedish-Finnish composer and was known throughout Europe as one of the most prominent clarinet virtuosos of his time. The concert will conclude with Tchaikovsky's monumental Symphony No. 6 in B Minor. Although the title of this work has become known in the English-speaking world as the "Pathetique" Symphony, the Russian word that Tchaikovsky chose is more accurately translated as "Passionate."

Although the title of this work has become known in the English-speaking world as the "Pathetique" Symphony, the Russian word that Tchaikovsky chose is more accurately translated as "Passionate." In terms of dynamics, both the Symphony and Crusell are known for elements that are barely a whisper, they are played so quietly. But then the energy of the symphony grows to some of the biggest sound performed on stage.

Our soloist, Taneea Hull, is frequently on stage performing in the Mid-South as principal clarinetist of the Jackson Symphony, substituting with the Memphis Symphony, and other ensembles throughout the country. In 2019, she and her husband, Dawson, were guest soloists at the International Clarinet Association ClarinetFest, where she also was the winner of the Internet Clarinet Association Orchestral Audition Competition. Off stage, Ms. Hull can be found in her clarinet studio at Germantown Baptist Church.
