FOUNDER'S DAY
Argento Chamber Ensemble
Join the Argento Chamber Ensemble as they perform a classic work by Sciarrino alongside a brand new piece by Irish composer Ann Cleare. Much of the first half of the program is an homage to the soundworlds of the clarinet and its brethren, including the contrabass clarinet. To close we will be treated to a newly expanded transcription of the first two movements of Mahler’s tenth symphony.
