SUMMARY:The Crux Duo – A Benderly Concert Event
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a musical journey through time\, place\, and spirit with Fanya Lin and Jackie Glazier as the piano and clarinet take center stage. The Crux Duo’s program of French classics from the 20th century moves seamlessly to the 21st with an exciting new clarinet concerto. \nOpening the program\, Fernande Decruck’s lyrical Cantilène(1933) is followed by Olivier Messiaen’s haunting Abîme des Oiseaux (1941)\, written in a prisoner-of-war camp and filled with both silence and birdsong. \nFrancis Poulenc’s witty yet poignant Sonata for Clarinet and Piano (1962) brings elegance and charm. It concludes with Jenni Brandon’s Fin de la Tierra: Land’s End (2023)\, a vivid exploration of the landscapes and wildlife of the southern tip of Baja California in the Sonoran Desert\, where desert meets sea at the edge of the earth. \nA concert worth the trip! Make your reservations soon.
