Jeffrey Kahane, conductorJoshua Ranz, clarinetAndrew Shulman, celloDaniel Kellogg, Mozart’s HymnOsvaldo Golijov, Last RoundWolf Italian SerenadeSchumann Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129Cheer on principal clarinet Joshua Ranz as he performs the iconic Clarinet Concerto that Copland wrote for jazz great Benny Goodman. Then, celebrate the bicentennial of Schumann’s birth with principal cello Andrew Shulman in the composer’s tender, elegiac Concerto. Wolf’s blissful Serenade is the perfect foil for the melancholy of Schumann, and Kellogg’s textured tour de force, an homage to Mozart, contrasts with the wild beauty of Golijov’s Last Round, deemed “the best Piazzolla tango Piazzolla never wrote.” (Gramophone) It’s a program that showcases the extraordinary versatility of the LACO musicians.
