Music: Sun Mar 31


Clarinetist Pascal Archer joins us for a music-filled Canvass Kickoff at CUUC! Pascal offers several movements from Brahms’s Sonata for Clarinet and Piano in F Minor, one of the last major works he undertook. In fact, Brahms had essentially retired from composing, when the playing of clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld so moved him, that he picked up pen and paper again, yielding two wonderful sonatas for clarinet and piano, as well as the Clarinet Trio and Clarinet Quintet. Francis Poulenc’s Sonata for Clarinet and Piano is also a late work, featuring the French composer’s characteristic mixture of wit and poignancy. Music pervades the entire service, with “The Sound of Money” enriching the “k’ching!” in our annual canvass drive. Read on for programming details, and consider attending the April 28th Music at CUUC concert to hear more of Pascal Archer as well as the CUUC Choir.
