Hear two of today’s most distinguished instrumentalists in their first-ever duo performance at Carnegie Hall. Anthony McGill is principal clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic and a dynamic soloist known for his “trademark brilliance” (The New York Times), and the exceptionally thoughtful pianist Emanuel Ax has been one of the most beloved performers at Carnegie Hall for decades. Their eclectic program includes a recent work by James Lee III; stirring short pieces by Price and Jessie Montgomery; Bernstein’s Clarinet Sonata; Adolphus Hailstork’s The Blue Bag (composed personally for McGill and inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, and more); and a melodious Schubert sonata of fascinating origin that shines on clarinet.
