A classical concerto written
for a jazz legend tops the
program for Albion College
Symphony Orchestra's last
concert of the academic year
Sunday, April 26, at 4 p.m.
in the College's Goodrich
Chapel.
Sophomore and principal
clarinetist Grace Talaski
performs Aaron Copland's
Clarinet Concerto as winner
of the Music department's
2015 Concerto Competition.
"This piece was commissioned
by Benny Goodman," said Drew
Dunham, director for the
concert. "Even though he was
famous as a swing and jazz
performer, Goodman was very
interested in promoting
classical composition. He
commissioned music from some
of the great composers of
the 20th century, like
Bartok and Hindemith."
The concert also includes
the crowd favorites "Blue
Danube" waltz and the
overture from "The Barber of
Seville."
This concert is free and
open to the public. For more
information, contact the
Albion College Music
department, music@albion.edu
or 517/629-0481.
