PREVIEW: Hartford Symphony clarinetist joins chamber trio for Southfield concert on Nov. 15

New Marlboro — Hartford Symphony principal clarinetist Sangwon Lee will join cellist Anne Legêne and pianist Larry Wallach for an afternoon of chamber music spanning Beethoven’s classical elegance, Max Bruch’s Romantic lyricism, and Robert Muczynski’s jazz-inflected intensity at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 15, at Southfield Church. Sunday’s program: Beethoven — Trio in B-flat for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano, Op. 11 Babin — Hillandale Waltzes for Clarinet and Piano (variations on a theme by J. N. Hummel) Muczynski — Fantasy Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano, Op. 26 Bruch; Four Pieces for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano, from “Eight Pieces,” Op. 83 Sunday’s program demonstrates how composers have exploited the clarinet’s expressivity over nearly two centuries, from the elegance of Beethoven and the lyricism of Bruch to Victor Babin’s 1947 waltz variations and Robert Muczynski’s late-20th-century modernism.
