David Shifrin
October 1-5, 2020
Pre-Recorded Concert from
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
Clarinetist David Shifrin has been a major presence in the chamber music world for decades as both performer and artistic director. In these beautiful performances, drawn from the archive video recordings of Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, we experience a program of great variety. Shifrin makes the clarinet sing like an operatic soloist in Mozart’s masterpiece quintet, and shows the clarinet’s range and brilliance in Bassi’s flight of fancy based on tunes from Verdi’s opera “Rigoletto”. The program closes with a lament by American master Duke Ellington, originally composed for the clarinetist of Ellington’s jazz orchestra.
This performance will be available to stream for free on this webpage from October 1-5. You can watch the performance whenever you like in that timeframe.
CMS Front Row was originally conceived in March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible to perform for live audiences in the concert hall. CMS Front Row was created to sustain audiences and provide a new way to experience this beautiful art form in a meaningful and innovative way, from the virtual “Front Row,” in the comfort and safety of listeners’ homes.
Chamber Music Tulsa is proud to work with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center to bring these world-class pre-recorded concert directly to you! Each performance will be available to stream on this page at any time during the allotted five day period.
