Many of us familiar with the clarinet, oboe and piano as instruments, but have you ever heard them as a trio before? While this unique instrumentation is rarely used in classical works, the woodwind-piano combination presents a myriad of surprising tonal colors when adapted for late 19th to 20th century music.
This Saturday, Interlochen faculty members embrace the hybridity of French impressionism and contemporary music in a faculty recital at the Alluvion.
Three of the four performers, clarinetist Katia Waxman, oboist Daniel Gurevich and pianist Ya-Ju Chuang, performed a preview of that concert in IPR's Studio A and spoke with IPR's Amanda Sewell.
