Clarinet Concerto, K. 622

This is one of Mozart's last completed works and is one of his most sublime. It was written for his friend, Anton Stadler, who was a virtuoso of the clarinet and basset horn. Stadler was especially known for his beautiful playing in the lower register of the clarinet, and Mozart exploits that strength in his concerto.

Symphony No. 27, K. 199

Mozart had written many symphonies before this one was completed at the age of 17. This symphony is a synthesis of everything he had learned on his many travels to musical centers, such as Mannheim, Vienna, and Italy. 

Musica Celestis

The composer writes that this work was inspired by the medieval conception of of the angels singing in heaven, praising God without end. He notes that he doesn't particularly believe in angels, but that the image was powerful for him. He had been inspired by listening to medieval music, especially that of Hildegard of Bingen. Writers have likened this work to Barber's Adagio for Strings.

Celebration Fanfare

Jennifer Higdon is on the composition faculty at the Curtis Institution of Music. She is one of America's most frequently performed composers who has been commissioned by many major orchestras. Celebration Fanfare is a jazzy work for string orchestra.

  Edward Dusinberre

First Violinist of the Grammy-award winning Takács String Quartet.

Edward Dusinberre was born in 1968 in Leamington Spa, England, and enjoyed playing and performing from a young age. At the Royal College of Music in London, Edward studied with Felix Andrievsky and members of the Chilingirian Quartet. In  1990 he won the British Violin Recital Prize and gave his debut recital in London at the Purcell Room, South Bank Centre. After graduating from the Royal College of Music, Edward continued his studies at the Juilliard School with Dorothy DeLay and Piotr Milewski. Edward's completion of his studies at Juilliard happily coincided with the opportunity to audition with the Takács Quartet which he joined in September 1993.
